Toys R Us Launches Revenge of The Fallen Figures!

I'm a Star Card member of Toys R Us and I received an email from TRU about the launching of the new Transformers movie figures today. Star Card members will get some gifts with the purchase of some toys. Being a big, biG, bIG, BIG fan I am, I would not miss this opportunity to go and get myself some new Transformers figures.

The launching event starts at 8.30 am. I figured at that early, not many people would go at the start of the launch. At least not the small children. So I went to TRU Subang Parade with my sister and reached there about 9.00 am. I was DEAD WRONG! As I entered the parking place I already saw several people about to go home with big TRU plastic bags filled with many, many Transformers figures! At that time I was afraid that the ones that I wanted will be long gone. Got into Subang Parade and head straight towards TRU and there it was, crowded with people grabbing the toys. As I suspected, the ones that I want were no longer on the shelves. The ones that I wanted were the ones must have or most wanted. Seeing that those figures were no longer on the shelves, I took two figures that were my second choices. Even those were left little on the shelves. After holding those two in hands, I waited in case the staff would bring out more figures and possibly the ones I want.

While waiting suddenly I saw one of the figures I wanted sitting on the shelf. Probably someone put it back. No one was going to take it so I quickly grab it and hooray, got one of two. I waited some more and hoping that someone would put back the other figure on the shelf so I could purchase it. And yes, my wish came through. Thanx to my sister for seeing this one guy about to put back the figure that I wanted. Before he got to put it I quickly asked him is he putting the figure back and he said yes. So I immediately asked him to give it to me. And yeay, he gave it to me and even polite enough to offer me the other toy he was about to place it back on the shelf but it was the one that I already have in hand. So the two figures I really wanted are in my hands. I only have the budget to purchase three figures so I had to put back one of them. The one that I returned I'm sure will still be available. At first I thought of only getting two figures, but since I had a budget that's enough for three then I thought might as well purchase three figures. And so I did.

So here are the three figures that I got:

Top: Sideswipe. Bottom: Sideways, Rampage


Rampage (Decepticon). Bulldozer.


Sideways (Decepticon). Audi R8


Sideswipe (Autobot). Concept Corvette.

Overall I'm pretty happy with these three figures. More addition to my collection. :)

P/S: Can't wait for the movie to see these guys in action. :)

Happy Mother's Day!

Today is Mother's Day. My dad decided that the whole family should go out and have lunch together. My sister has been wanting to eat Dim Sum for quite sometime so my dad made a reservation at Quality Hotel at Jalan Raja Laut (opposite Pertama Complex). At around 12.30pm we left home and head for the hotel. The name of the restaurant at the hotel is Meisan Szechuan Restaurant. It was a buffet lunch. I forgot to ask my dad how much is it per person. So since it was buffet, we can take as many Dim Sum as we want. Here are some pics:

Some of the Dim Sum we took. There were more but these were the first batch. :)


My beloved family! And my sister enjoying her moment of eating!


Here's me enjoying my food. :)

Overall it's not the best I had but when you haven't had something you like for so long, the food were definitely delicious. We didn't spend much time there. We arrive at about 1pm and left around 2.15. So that was our activity today for Mother's Day. My dad 'belanja' us today.

Other than that I got myself a glass cabinet today at Ikea. The glass cabinet is for displaying my Transformers figures as I have really run out of space to display them in my room. When we got back from lunch (got the cabinet before went to lunch), I spend the whole afternoon assembling the cabinet with the help of my sister. After finished assembling immediately I re-arrange the figures and below is the result.


The glass cabinet. Before.


After.

So there it was for today. Happy Mother's Day mama. And to all mother's in the world. They are the ones with most sacrifices in their lives compares to other people to ensure their children, us, to be safe and happy as long as they lived. I'm sure everyone agrees with me. That is why 'Syurga terletak di bawah telapak kaki ibu'. Love you mama. :)

As Per Requested

Ok. Here it is. Some of you asked me to post and show my Tissot watch. So here are a couple of pics. I'm not 'menunjuk-nunjuk' ok. You asked for the pictures.



Here's the watch. :)



Here are the books the came together in the set. :)

So, there you have it. My Tissot Chronograph. :)
How do you all find it? :)

Been Spending a Lot!! Stop Me!!

Here's a coverage on the past two days. I have been spending a lot on Transformers for the last couple of days. I bought one figure per day for two days straight. Three days if u include Monday. It might not seem a lot just one figure per purchase but for three days straight and each costs above 50 bucks, that's too much.

On Tuesday I sent my sister for her facial appointment at New York Skin Care in Subang Parade. I stop by Toys'R'Us just to look for anything new (Transformers figures). Nothing there so I went to Parkson. There were some new figures on the shelves. So I took one.





This guy here is called Dinobot. He is bad fellow.

Then yesterday. My sister and her friend decided to hang out at Sunway Pyramid. So I sent her there. As usual, I would go and check some figures at several stores namely Dreamztoy, Animetech and Parkson. At Dreamztoy, there it was another figure that I wanted. So without
thinking, I just purchased it.


This guy's name is Hot Shot. The little guy is Jolt.


Cool car mode.

I don't know what came over me on past couple of days. Maybe I'm just in the mood of buying Transformers to add to my collection. Maybe I'm just trying to make myself feel better. I guess I didn't realize I spent that much. Somebody stop me.

Been Awhile, 'Cukur Jambul', Engagement and Wolverine

It's been quite a long time since the last time I blog. I have no mood at all to blog since a certain 'incident' took place about a month ago. Those of you who know then you know what I'm talking about. Not many of you know, only some. I'm still struggling with that..hmm...Anyway I'm starting to blogging again now, little by little and try to distract myself. There are gonna be three sections I'm gonna be writing here. Let's start with the first one.

Last Saturday was my cousin's son 'cukur jambul' ceremony (I'm not sure what the english term for 'cukur jambul'). My family and I went to my uncle's house around 3 sumthing however the ceremony started late in the afternoon at around 5.30p.m. Several people from the mosque came to my cousin's house. This was not my first 'cukur jambul' ceremony I went but it was the first time that I actually cut a few of the baby's hair :) . My uncle ordered three roast lamb as the main feast. It was delicious. Aside from that there were some 'pulut kuning', 'rendang', 'kuih-muih'. After all that we came back home at around eight sumthing.

Here's me making faces at the baby. huhu.

Here's me cutting a few of the baby's hair :) [my hands a bit shakey; afraid that I'd accidentally hurt the baby]

Next on Sunday was my other cousin's engagement. The day before and two days earlier I was busy cleaning up the house, moving some furnitures around and more. Some of my relatives came from Kelantan for the engagement. This cousin of mine is the closest I have as my big sister. She's the daughter of my mom's immediate sister so we are close. There were a lot of stuff to do to make sure the house looks nice especially there are some renovations being done to the house. A lot of dirt and dust around. So last weekend was a bit tired for me. The engagement went quite alright except there was an incident where there wasn't enough rice for the guests. So my cousin and I had to go to the mamak stall and buy about 20 packets of plain rice. This happened probably because the guests came more than mentioned. However there were still a lot of leftovers and we asked our relatives to bring home some of the food. The engagement ceremony ended at around three sumthing and all of us were very tired and slept the rest of the afternoon. After done resting, again had to rearrange the furnitures and clean up the house. It took almost the whole night. Later at night we started opening the 'hantaran' from the guy's side and went to bed.

Here's my Kak Long :)

My big sister and me :) but she's smaller than me. Get it? Ehehe.

Now for today. Early in the morning I had to wake up and send my grandfather to my uncle's house at Desapark City. From there my grandfather went back to Kelantan with my other two other uncles and auntie. Then came back and decided with my sister and my cousin (Kak Long's sister) to go and watch Wolverine. I decided to watch it at Times Square so that I could stop by at my favourite store; Graffiti Toys so that I could survey the Transformers figures. The movie was at 12.40 p.m so we left around 11 sumthing. We bought our tickets and while waiting, went to the toy store. After about 20 mins going up and down the aisle, looking and thinking and finally this was the one I decided on:
This is Ratchet. He is the medical officer for the Autobots (buat2 la paham ye)

After that it's nearly 12.30 so we went down to the cinema for the movie. The movie was ok. One of the best movie I've seen yet for this year (of course soon the best movie for me will be Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen! Can't wait for the movie). Anyway for Wolverine, Hugh Jackman potrayed the character nicely. He really showed the character's nature. Another two characters in the movie that have become the talk among fans were Gambit (that didn't make it in the X-Men trilogy) and Wade Wilson a.k.a Deadpool (towards the end of the movie). Gambit has been well known by anyone but Deadpool might not be as popular and known unless you're a big fan of Marvel comics characters. I know the character Deadpool but I didn't recognize him in the movie (I'm not a big fan. I prefer DC comics that creates Batman, Superman, Wonderwoman, etc). However there were many changes made to the characters and the storyline. Some die hard fans might not be pleased but for me it was an entertaining movie. We ate 1901's while watching the movie as we haven't eat anything yet before the movie. After the movie we came back home, rest, watched some tv and here I am blogging.

So all and all last weekend was tiring for me. Well that's it for now. Hopefully after this I will continue blogging almost regularly. I'll try.


I'm suppose to be in the cardboard picture as well but they cut me out. Huhuhu. Eheh.


I know it's not related to Wolverine but how can I not take a picture with these guys right?! :)
(u ppl know how crazy I am about these guys). Can't wait for this movie! It will be HUGE!!!
