Saved by my Palm

This happened last Saturday. Whilst waiting at the lights past Merdeka Square, a proton with three arseholes in it decided to ignore the double lines and tried to squeeze into my lane. A quick toot with my horn to voice my displeasure, gained a rather unpleasant result. Whilst they were right by my drivers side window, they strated hurling insults and were very angry. Their mothers must have not b-reast fed them when they were babies, resulting in the sort of uncouth behaviour fit for neanderthals!

Anyways, the lights changed, and they proceeded to continue to try and cut me off. So I decided to speed up. Blew them away travelling down past Jalan Bangsar past the old train station. However, as my intended destination was Brickfields, I was attending a funeral of all things, I was again caught up in traffic turning left into Brickfields. They stop right behind me, and one of them got out, walked to my car and continued urging me out of the car, hurling abuses, and also hitting my passenger side window. No real damage, but was rather unpleasant. Lights had changed, so I pressed on.. whilst they followed.

They managed to get in front of me, as I was making calls to my friends who were also attending the funeral. We got caught up at another set of traffic lights, and they were threathening to reverse into my car. One of them, practically had his whole scrawny body sticking out of the rear window, continuing to hurl abuses at me and telling me to pull over.

Then it dawned on me.. I had a palm with a camera attached. Why not take their pictures? At least i would have some photographic eveidence if this turned uglier! When the idiot who had his head poking out of the window realised that I was taking his picture.. he ducked right back in.

Suddenly, they did not seem so confrontational anymore! Another one of the arses came out with his camera phone to also take picture, as if to say.. we have a camera too! When the lights turned green, they sped off!


They drive a PROTON WIRA - JEB 5313!

If any of you are a cop or a person with any authority, please help put these specimens back into the pit they crawled out of.

My first Voice Over

You know how you say.. "those radio voice-overs.. always the same people.. (like Joe Hasham and company..) can't they find newer talent?" No? hahaha.. oh well..

I did my first Voice Over work last Wednesday. It all started innocently enough when I was at a studio for a Christmas jingle recording for Ritz Carlton. We had to sing or rather hum "I'll be home for Christmas" which was easy enough. Did a multitrack, which made 4 of us sound like a much much bigger choir. We even improvised extra parts. Just when I thought we were finished, the Creative Director and the Client asked me if I would like to try out for the Voice Over bit? Me.. me? But it says Joe Hasham on the script!

Well I did it.. so hear out for it over Light and Easy these coming weeks... and tell me what you think.. but be gentle.

Feeling Crabby

Funny how you don't eat something for a long time, and then all of a sudden all you seem to do is eating it all the time. Grin.. It all started in Semporna, where we had a sumptious seafood dinner there, with crabs as the highlight. It was good, getting your hands dirty again. Then wham! We have crabs again a few weeks later in Klang, then more crab at home, and then this weekend we were introduced to a restaurant in Jalan Imbi.

When we first arrived, every neuron in my brain shouted, "GET OUT!" Why? Well, the place was totally empty, and we all know the rules... the more patrons.. the better the food. I am very very glad we did not make a run for it, because, they served up the most excellent crab dish I have had in eons! Complete with dry toated bread to soak up the spicy crab sauce.. They should really bottle the stuff! It would make excellent dip. Thank you very much Chris! Next time we go there.. the meals on me.
