well... last weekend, i went back to my hometown, lil ol' penang!... i arrived at penang airport around 5.30. then my parents came to pick up there... we were all smiling and laughing until we get to the bridge.... then came the unsuspected.....
it was a massive traffic jam... well.. it was always like this since i was form 2... hehehe.. if we dont crossed the bridge before 6, we'll get stucked in the jam... we barely got home to break our fast....
just when i want to spend my time with them, my father had to go to Bukit Merah for a conference thingy if i'm not mistaken.. so it's just me, my mom, Ja and Amir...
i actually slept before sahur.... usually at cyberia.. i don't sleep... hehe... during sahur... my mom made fried rice and spaghetti! nyum nyum! of course i was the last to get up from my chair.. hehehe...
during the afternoon, we went to pick up my sister, Atina from MRSM Transkrian for her outing... then we went to the mall to go shopping... nothing much though since it's a new mall... but my Tina and Amir got to buy some clothes there.. when we went back home, my mom made kuih keria for buka.. heheheh.. nice! we just eat light at home, then we went to a tomyam restaurant before sending Tina back to MRSM... wish my dad was there...
the next day, we went to Gurney Plaza.. and this is my turn to shop, yea!.. we went to Echo Park.. hehe... It's the only clothing that fits me nowadays.. hehe... so much for fasting.. hehehehe.. i was so relieve i already shop for raya... we also went to FOS and Reject Shop and my sister bought a bundle of clothes there.. literally a bundle.. sigh... owh, and Amir and me fooled around there.. hehehe...
My dad got back before break fast, so we got to break our fast togeher.... i helped my mom made sotong goreng tepung, goreng pisang and chek mek molek.. after that... my dad treated us with 'colek'... that's for me to know and for you guys to find out.. hehehe.. it was nice...
it's already monday... noooooo.... my flight was at 8.15 am.. so right after sahur.. i got ready and by 6.30, we we're out from the house.. it was kinda normal because we always get out of the house that early as my parents work in the island and Ja and Amir go to school there as well...
now i'm back in MMU and it's all ASSignments.. sigh... nevertheless, i'm glad i went back during the weekend...

Zyzzyx Road... the road not taken...
It's 3 am, tried to sleep but failed... (sigh).... so, i did some surfing.. or the popular term nowadays is 'googling'... but i wasn't using google, i was using yahoo... so that makes me 'yahooing'?... anyway... in the yahoo movies section (watchamacallit.. hehehe).. there was this interesting photo galleries titled:- "Movie Disasters: Historic Box Office Bombs"
It's about Hollywood box office movies that didn't get any profit that can be considered profit... i'm not making any sense is it? there was quite a number of movies... but the most disastrous was this movie, Zyzzyx Road... yup, never heard of it... i was kinda shocked to know that the budget was 2 mil.. but the in the US Box Office, only gain a profit of 30$.... yup! just 30 bucks! you know, what amazed me was the lineup cast was Hollywood top actors/actress... for the likes of Katherine Heigl, Leo Grillo and Tom Sizemore, this is a not good film to put on their resumes.. hehehe...
in the yahoo movies, it quoted "There are a lot of indie films that don't make money. But few can boast a box-office draw less than the cost of a tank of gas. To satisfy a Screen Actors Guild's requirement, director John Penney -- who was holding out for a DVD deal -- screened the flick in a Texas theater for a week where it earned a mere thirty bucks. The meager box-office draw landed the film in the "Guinness Book of Records" as the lowest grossing film of all time. To make matters worse, Penney had to return 1/3 of the gross, as two of the six paying ticket-goers were also crew members."
On of the commentor said that Even though this film didn't make any money, it will have the distinction of being the last film to appear alphabetically in any movie database until the end of time. hahaha LMAO! I was thinking the same thing... now i know how hard it's to make a movie let alone make it to the box office! as Sir Rudyard Kipling's poem "the ROAD not taken"...kinda have a meaning to it..ngahaha.. get it! cause the title of the movie is Zyzzyx ROAD.. haha.. okay fine.. it was LAME.. can't blame it.. I'm a LAME guy.. heheh.. slamat bersahur and toodles.
