April

"The Last Shall be the First" - well, the last day is the first blog entry for this month, but I have to do it before April goes. I'll do it in a week fashion

Week 1 - Malaysia
almost 30 hour flight - Air Canada from Toronto to Hong Kong, Cathay Pacific from Hong Kong to Singapore, and later an Air Asia flight to Kuala Lumpur and I was home. Started the journey on April Fool's day!

At Singapore's Changi Airport, i found this rare treasure, a 2010 T-Hunt 69' Ford Torino Talladega
Slept for about 4 hours, and later found myself having breakfast with my family : ) A W E S O M E T I M E S :) Drove my sister's 2010 Honda City (Fit - Sedan version). And in the evening was at Sepang for the Grand Prix Qualifying.
My siblings and I. Luke got tickets for all of us! Thanks bro, he's the dude with the Idaho tee. RM250 ticket's at the grand stand. This is where you hear the cars roar at 300km/h before the hairpin and the finish line. This is where lots of the action happens!
A Force India Formula 1 car doing a victory lap on race day :)
The next day, I had breakfast with my Mummy and my brother Markie at the new Bangi Kopitiam in Setiawangsa.
Milo :)
And I had the Nasi Kerabu - a local dish for breakfast from the state of Kelantan. Its rice, keropok (fried fish chips), fish with some kerabu sauce and vegetables.
Midweek, I met up with the Youth from Church and we went to see Clash of the Titans.
I really enjoyed the movie :) As Yoda would say, "Entertaining, it was"
The dudes
Going home after the movie in the Petaling Jaya area. I forget the name of the mall, haha.

And we drove downtown, for Nam Heong Chicken Rice
And this is what you get
Delicious Steamed and Roasted Chicken
And outside of the restaurant, I couldn't help but notice this 350z
