Good Day

Went to Melaka yesterday to visit my Izma. Took the express bus from Pudu at 10am, arrived at about 12pm. Fell asleep the whole journey, mainly due to the problem generated by my stomach. I had my breakfast at home, but due to unknown reason I got stomach ache (kembung perut, tatau mende dlm English). Rubbed some medicated oil, fart and burp (a lot!) and it got better in the evening. Spent my day having lunch at Secret Recipe, and I swear next time I'm gonna try again their Noodle with Tom Yam Kung (wonder what is that). The reason? They served this noodle with TWO big-ass prawns! Then Izma and me walked around Mahkota Parade, nothing much to see there except some teenagers who seemed like still in the process of finding their identities. Yup I'm a sucker when it comes to this type of teenagers. I know you're trying to be up-to-date but hello!! This is Malaysia, the sun is scorching at a friggin' 34ÂșC out there. Why on Earth are you wearing neck-tie and sweater? Stupid teenagers, luckily I wasn't like that during my teenage time..

Then we headed towards Dataran Pahlawan, an underground shopping complex. Also, a new but under-utilized project which in my opinion is a waste of tax-payers' money. Mahkota Parade is under-utilized, so does Melaka Mall, Peringgit Point and several other places. Why would one build another shopping complex within walking distance to each other is really a mystery. Nothing much to see too, so we got behind the wheels back cause Izma wanted to show the place she's working now. Then we dropped by at JJ, trying all sorts of thing and buying none of them hehe. At 4:30pm, headed back to Melaka Sentral to catch my 5:30pm bus back to KL. Had a great day to spend although for only a short while.

Also, I got myself a copy of one of the most anticipated PS2 games for the time being: God of War 2. I'm still in early stage of playing it, so can't really give reviews or tell the complete storyline. Basically from what I understand, Kratos descended to Earth to help his Spartans although Athena prevented him from doing so. And thus when he descended, he lost all his god powers, making him only as a mortal. I had a hunch that in the end he will be challenging Zeus himself, but that's just my speculation. And yeah, I don't read walkthrough to know the storyline. Graphic presentation wise, somehow better than first version. Although the environment seems to be similar to the first version, the graphic rendering is better. Fires look realistic, so does Kratos' movement. Remember in first version he climbed wall and ledge using his own bare hand? Now no more, instead he 'intelligently' use the Blade of Athena. My little brother noticed this and made me think, 'hmm this sure is more realistic climbing walls using blade instead of hands..'. Skills and magic, mostly same. If you played the first version, most probably you won't notice any big difference. Controls are also the same, with much of the action done by the square button.

Yerp 3am now, I was just switching off my PS2. Time to head to bed.
