call me weekender, really.

A thoroughly enjoyable weekend.

Plenty of drinks, food and conversation. A pseudo-hedonistic three nights which resulted in hyperacidity.

I'm beginning to like Damansara Heights. Why? Affordable alcohol. Seriously. Rm12 for a mug? Smashing. A delectable view doesn't exactly hurt matters. Yeah, it does come off chi-chi at times, but when was the last anyone could place cheap beers and decent crowd in the same sentence, let alone same page? I suppose the delicacies in J&R deserve a try, though I still have an aversion to processed pork. Perhaps several strips of bacon would do the trick on my next visit. And Aaliya isn't too shabby either. Though the quality of sound system leaves much to be desired, as does the strangely fresh warm beer. Acres of space, though. And cooling, very cooling.


We Own the Night
is an awesome movie, very similar to The Departed. And reminiscent of The Yards, which first featured Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg. Enticing storyline, coupled with great acting. Well worth the RM 3.20 spent on toll to Puchong. Also watched Run, Fatboy, Run. Hilarious, though not as endearing as Hot Fuzz. Was too Americanised for my liking, with the typical feel-good ending. But hilarious.


Love. A poorer cousin of Romance, and Passion. Many oft look for Love, but end up ditching it for the much glorified Romance and more exciting Passion. And when Romance has skipped away and Passion absconded, the shadows that are Bitterness and Discontent hound Love, relentless and cold. For without the more illustrious Romance and much celebrated Passion, Love appears to be nothing than a dull vessel, unattractive and superfluous.
