No, this entry is not about my boyfriend or other's boyfriend.
Zettai Kareshi or known as Absolute Boyfriend is one of the many doramas that I watched during the holiday. For some reason, the dorama reminds me of Chobits.
This dorama is about robot. Noticed I said robot, without the 's'? Robot-san is the main character.
The main character, Tenjo Night, is a perfect humanoid. Therefore you can be relieved that the dorama revolves around 'human' liking human. Not some mechanical looking device. Developed and programmed to be completely devoted to his lover, his sole existence is to love. I wonder if such lover robot really exist. But how can such forbidden love be permitted?
The dorama has no doubt, one of the best theme song, Okaeri which means welcome back, by Ayaka. I read somewhere that Ayaka was actually by the manga artist of Zettai Kareshi asked to write a song for the dorama.

Remember to support the artist and buy her album if you really like it!
Japanese dramas never fail to wet my keyboard. Zettai Kareshi is a touching love story. I give it a 7 out of 10.

Take care, Lissa
I guess yesterday's night will be my last outing with Lissa and other Kosongers until long.
Lissa has been my closest and bestest best friend over the years. Being a Sagittarius like me, she was always there when I needed her, listening to my problems while I listen to hers. It was always fun. We are so close, we could be bi.
Knowing that I will not see her for the coming days, I mean, months, the remaining Kosongers at Kuching had a night's out.

Remaining Kosongers left in Kuching
The night revolves around snapping pictures, drinking juice, talk, snapping pictures, eating, and snapping more pictures...
Dedicated photographer
Lissa had Caeser Salad

Chicken Panini
No one will follow me to gym, or sauna, or swim...
No one will ask me out for movie...
No one will bring me out till late...
No one will go window shopping with me...
No one will bring me to Senso...
No one to bi with...
Lissa, I will be lonely.
ARCHIDEX08 - Part 3
Jakun never tried 1901
And was pretty trilled over big sausages
I have never felt so excited meeting up with a friend. Kelvin and Chris are irreplaceable.
Kelvin and I at KLCC
I was so excited that I literally flung myself at him when I saw him.
Chris was busy so Kelvin came alone. I know... He must be really excited to actually come all the way alone without Chris to see me. Happy.
Oh wait, we were not alone. Jakun with sausages was tailing us.
I was in the mood for Japanese food and thus Kelvin suggested that we should try Saeke Sushi for dinner.
Saeke Sushi
Saeke Sushi is something like the Sushi King we have in The Spring or Boulevard, Kuching. The typical sushi-on-conveyor-belt. However, Saeke Sushi's service is more high tech. You can place your orders through interactive menu online.
How to place orders
Every table has a dumb terminal where you can place your order and check your order status. With a few clicks, your order will appear at the kitchen, and before you know it, your food is on your table. No more hassle of waiting for waiters to take orders. DIY.
Dumb terminal
The whole system reminds me of the assignment we had to do for Software Engineering class back in college.
The best way to savor sushi is with a cup of hot green tea. They even encouraged people to make their own tea
Kelvin and I started off with something light...
Deep fried scallops
Sushi
Salmon sashimi
Adrian and Terence joined us and we started feasting.
Adrian was annoyed
Curry rice which I shared with Kel
The curry rice is a lot better than what I had in Sushi King. It was delicious, not too spicy and presentable.

We ordered so much that we couldn't finish eating. We were happy and bloated.
Happy and bloated
Honestly I was worried that I could not get along with Kel after not seeing him for a year. But thank goodness, nothing can beat our friendship.
Introducing to you my best buddy, Kel
Thanks Kel, dinner was wonderful.

Sony Ericsson W380i
This month, I am on gadget craze.
After owning a Sony Cybershot DSC-T2, I have gotten myself another half Sony device.
Sony Ericsson W380i
I was looking for a square clamshell phone similar to what Shun Oguri used in Hana Yori Dango.
Oguri Shun with his cool white clamshell phone
I have fetish for white gadgets...
The Japanese dramas and animes are always showing hot guys and hot girls using those square clamshell phones. Chamshell phones make them more chic. Unfortunately they only release these beautiful babies to Japan only. The above phone is actually one of the phones by Sony Ericsson. I am tired of bar phones! They are too plain and not chic enough for me.
So the closest I can get is W380.
Unfortunately W380 does not come in white
It is rather disappointing because W380 only comes in purple, black and grey.
W380 has the square look that I was looking for
Illuminating lights showing phone information and music touch keys outside
Simple design
Strawberry wallpaper
The phone is quite thin, with flat keypads. The screen is rather small and it comes with a mediocre 1.3 megapixel camera. 
Despite it's mediocre feature, I am really satisfied with the overall performance and design.
What matters more, now I can flip my gadget in public.
Man, I feel so stylish.
ARCHIDEX08 - Part 2
Part 2 came faster than I thought it would. LOL...
Upon reaching KL an hour late from schedule, Terence and I took KL-Express down to KL Sentral.
KL-Express, 29 minutes from KLIA to KL Sentral
I dropped by at Terence's hotel, Crown Princess 5-star hotel, before heading to my own.
Crown Princess Lobby
The elevator is a human eater. When I was about to exit the elevator, the door panels started to close and hit me so hard that I almost fell. The accident caused my right hand and leg to bruise. Evil elevator.
Crown Princess Room
The room was below par for a 5-star hotel standard. It was too small, the furnishing was so- so, and its interior design needs help. Crown Princess can do better.
The relatively small washroom added to Terence's disappointment.
Dirty washroom, cracked tiles. Poorly maintained
The Ascott on the other hand was luxuriously furnished and spacious. The suites are completely equipped with home entertainment system such as DVD, VCD player and TV with satellite reception. There were also iron and ironing board provided. The studio I stayed in was a three-bedrooms residence with three washrooms, a living room, dining area and fully equipped kitchen. Late at night, I would enjoy KL night scenery out at the balcony. Best of all, The Ascott is only walking distance to KL Convention Center.

ARCHIDEX08 - Part 1
Was going to blog on ARCHIDEX08 sooner but got lazy and here goes nothing...
I left for KL on 3rd July morning and was extremely excited as it will be my first visit after leaving KL for almost a year...
I was anticipating to meet up with my two best buddies in KL, Chris and Kel.
This is Chris and Kel before I left KL... I was wondering if they will still look the same after a year? Yes, I know I looked so different back then XD
Of course, my main purpose was to attend ARCHIDEX08... And at the same time, meeting up with old friends. But honestly, I feel that the real purpose is the later. HEHE
My boarding pass...
Instead of traveling with the usual AirAsia, I was lucky enough to get 0 Fare from MAS. Even though AirAsia tickets will still come much cheaper compared to MAS's 0 Fare, I wanted to avoid any possibility of having my flights delayed. With AirAsia famous flight-delaying case, I went for MAS.
To my chagrin, MAS delayed my flight for an hour. My other colleagues reached KL without delay using AirAsia. Way to go, MAS.
This time, instead of traveling alone like I always did for 2 years, I traveled with one of my college mates which also happened to be going to ARCHIDEX08.
Terence and I snapping pictures during flight
Since Malaysia Airlines started on cost-cutting measures, they no longer serve hot food on the Kuching-KL flights anymore.
I actually like the design for the cold boxed sets served. Feels like high class lunch box
Water, fruits, fruit cake, green kuih which I don't know the name...
Some western style chicken rice... Can't remember what it is called
I liked this green coloured cookie. It was delicious and not too sweet
Leftovers...
The flight attendants are more helpful, hardworking and (maybe) prettier than AirAsia's flight attendants. I like the fact that I can actually check in my luggage at KL Sentral without worrying if my luggage will exceed the weight limit since I will be doing light shopping during Mega Sale.
