Hehe, just got back from the road rules and regulations exam and I PASSED!!! To be honest, it was kind of easy to me but then again, I have also met some people there who failed several times o_o. At first, I thought the exam was a written exam and I brought my pencil case for that.
Oh my foolishness, how could I not realize how modern Malaysia is now :D?! There are no more written exams for soo many years!! (As told by my driving instructor) The exam is now done by computers. You just have to choose the correct answer as shown on the computer screen along with the question.
And, there's this color blind test. There are a few questions and if you answer ANY one of them wrongly, you fail the whole exam instantly. Scary isnt it? Haha..
There are a total of 50 questions in the whole exam. All are objective questions :D.
Anyway, I'll have to attend another 6-hour course before I really start to learn driving...practically!!
Thought of the Day : Another course??!! Six hours?!!!!
Happy Halloweeeeeeeeen!!
Oh dam, I don't hav a costume..I want a costume NAO!! I want to dress up as a Shinigami!! Haha.
By the way, the kids around my block celebrate Halloween. My doorbell has been rung sooo many times!! Luckily, I had some candies to spare those kids xD. Once, I opened the door and jumped out and shouted to scared them. Boy, wasn't that fun xD. Now, If only everyone in Malaysia celebrates Halloween :D
Thought of the Day : Trick or Treat...!!
Ok, TARA 3 is really getting into my nerves. Although it is still kind of fun to watch but it is getting very lame!!! ( I'm talking about the race set up and challenges). In this leg, the teams go back to Macau Tower which was visited during the previous leg. This really pisses me off. It makes the race too simple. I have never seen any Amazing Race which visit the same location again in connecting episodes.
Oh well, the teams went to the tower and did a bungee jump. Wow, that is sooooo exciting!! *sarcasm*.
I'm losing my patience and The Amazing Race 13 is much more captivating. Too bad, blame myself that I'm an Asian which my inner self tells me to continue to watch TARA 3 xD....LOL.
Four teams left and the end of the race is coming!! Is Malaysia going to be visited during the last few legs? Stay tune!
Route : Macau, Republic of China ----> Cochin, India

Brian's reviews
+ Ida & Tania were amazing. They catched up a lot! They were actually the 2nd team to arrive at the pitstop but they had to face a compulsory 30minutes penalty for being last in the previous leg. After the penalty, they became 3rd.
+ Geoff faced his fear of raw big cold fish :O.
+ Elephant helped Tania & Ida finished their task quicker :D. (Task was to wash the elephant's body)
- I have absolutely no idea why Henry & Bernie did not do the raw fish task. Too bad, they lost.
- Henry's face was so 'black' when he was declared eliminated at the pitstop. Not sporting at all!
- Henry & Bernie and Sam & Vincent missed their connecting flight which made them fall back behind of other teams for quite some time.
Thought of the Day : One Malaysia team down!

Moses Chan, Bosco Wong, Linda Chung, Wong Hei, etc.
Length: 82 episodes (Cantonese) // 61 tapes (Vietnamese)
Release Date: October 2008 (Canto) // October 2008 (Viet)
Genre: Grand Production Drama/Epic Blockbuster
Synopsis:
You may wish to be a famous socialite.
You may wish to have fame and fortune.
But is that really what you will wish for at the end?
In Pak Siu Yau’s (Louise Lee See Kei) eyes, her three daughters are just as perfect as diamonds. She believes that the greatest blessing for a woman is to marry a wealthy man. To guarantee a better life for her daughters, she has started training the girls since they were young, hoping that they will marry into the richest families when they mature.
Yau’s first daughter Hong Nga Yin (Maggie Shiu Mei Kei) does not agree with her values. Yet when she sees that the man Yin is going out with is Ko Cheung Sing (Bowie Lam Bo Yi), who is very well-off, she decides to let Yin go with her choice. Yau’s second daughter Hong Nga Tung (Gigi Lai Chi) is hopelessly romantic but does not seem to have much luck with men. To make it up to her, Yau seeks to match her up with Ho Chit Nam (Moses Chan Ho), the son of Hong Kong’s most powerful business tycoon Ho Fung (Ngok Wah). Being the youngest in the family, Hong Nga Sze (Ada Choi Siu Fan) is well aware of Yau’s concerns. Having recovered from divorce, Sze now decides to pin all her hopes on Fung.
So far, I have only watched few episodes of this great drama. Not as impressive as Moonlight Resonance but I will give time to this drama because its a lengthy one. As one says, a perfect story/script needs a long time to be told. I believe that this drama will beat Moonlight Resonance. We'll see how it goes :D.Thought of the Day : L license exam next tuesday!!
Anyway, I went out with Janatul and Dana today to watch a movie in KLCC. Janatul WANTED to watch Bangkok Dangerous which I had a strong feeling that I won't like the movie. But what the heck, I still watch the movie and at the end......one word : LAME.
Yes, this movie is L-A-M-E, besides the cool Thai guy and the beautiful deaf/mute girl, others were lame..very lame. The assassinations' style were not very surprising or fresh. Well, maybe because I watched too much Chinese killing/gangster movies :O. The ending was stupid too. I'm not going to tell you what happened but if you like a movie with a stupid ending, go ahead and watch it :X. And, I don't like Nicolas Cage (Nicolas Cage fans can shoot me now)
What passed has passed. The outing was fun nevertheless. I was shock to know that Coffee Bean & Starbucks are now NON-HALAL to Muslims. But, I still do see Muslims drinking their coffee. Fact? I don't know. You tell me.
I look forward to watch 007 Quantum of Solace. Weeeeee, invite me to the movies again during that time.
By the way, thanks Dana for belanja-ing me the movie ticket!!!
And, thanks Janatul for choosing this lame movie!! *sarcasm*
Thought of the Day : No way........pig stuff found in the Coffee Bean/Starbucks?!

What Your Cute Monster Says About You |
 You are both a realist and an idealist. You're able to see the world as it is - and how it could be. You dream big, and you never give up on your beliefs. You have big plans. Your inner demon is depression. Sometimes you build things up in your head. People think you're cute because you're determined. You're a fighter, and that's charming. |
Hey, you know what? I'm starting to feel that Amazing Race Asia 3 is getting easier as the episodes continue. Sad. It doesn't seem to be "The Toughest Race Ever" at the moment. It's even getting lame when the Detours/Roadblocks are getting very similar to the previous seasons of the U.S. Amazing Race.
Arghhh. This episode was another Non-Elimination Leg (NEL). It's just like Season 2!!! Lame!!!

+ Geoff & Tisha speeding up a lot
+ The Yield is in this episode!!! Geoff & Tisha yielded Henry & Bernie :O.
+ Some teams gave some money to Tania & Ida because they were last during the previous episode and they had no money at the start of this episode.
+ Tania & Ida kept good sportsmanship
- Rivalry seen between Henry & Bernie and Geoff & Tisha.
- Henry & Bernie was yielded.
- Ida & Tania were unable to catch up the time they lost. They were like so farrr behind~!
- A.D. & Fuzzie don't know how to wear a dress!! Hahahaha... xD
- The Blackjack challenge was lame. It copied my "Amazing Race"! Haha
- Macau Tower again....aren't there any other places to visit in Macau??!
Thought of the Day : Hope things get more tense at next week's episode...!
Besides that, team Sam & Vincent had home advantage because they are Team Hong Kong! Lol.
By the way, after 5 elimination rounds, this episode was expected to be a non-elimination round.

+ Home advantage for the Team Hong Kong, Sam & Vincent !! I'm actually rooting for either them or Henry & Bernie to win this entire race.
+ Sam & Vincent breezed through Hong Kong like Speedman. They had no second thoughts at all!
+ Geoff & Tisha getting a lot more competitive
+ It was fun to listen to all the fortunes in the fortune cookies task. The task was to crack up fortune cookies one at a time to look for one that has the correct fortune among 300 cookies! (Detour task)
- Pretty disappointed that this episode seems so easy. I was expecting something more challenging in Hong Kong to uphold the slogan "TheToughest Race Ever".
- Henry & Bernie lost time while doing the Fish task (Detour task)
- Ida & Tania couldn't catch up and they were last at the end.
- Wow. Did I just saw Tania pushing a lady aside while that lady is getting into a cab and she said "No no. That taxi is ours first"???? True face revealed??
Thought of the Day : Still studying the rules of driving...sick of it....!
