So Many Dumb Ways To Die...

It's been almost a week now since I saw Tangerine Kitty's Dumb Ways To Die video, and I STILL can't get the bloody song out of my head. GAH.

But still, it's SUCH AN AWESOME SONG, and so horribly catchy too! Altogether now! DUUUMB WAYS TO DIIIE...

To Arthur At Sid's!

Yup, if you only go for ONE Arthur's Day party this year, then go for the one at Sid's Pub TTDI this Sunday, the bar with the best Guinness in town!



The party starts at 12 noon, all the way until 8pm (or until they run out of Guinness, which will probably NEVER happen), with the black stuff going at RM10 NETT a glass.

Seeya there!

Big Deal About Small Fry! New Toy Story Short, Whee!

Ooooh there's gonna be a new Toy Story short tagged on in front of The Muppet Movie next month! Whee!

It's gonna be called "Small Fry" and here's the synopsis:

Buzz Lightyear is left behind at a fast food restaurant when a kids’ meal toy version of Buzz takes his place. While Bonnie’s toys are stuck with the annoying three-inch-tall Buzz impersonator, the real Buzz is trapped in the restaurant at a support group for discarded toys. As Woody and the gang devise a way to rescue their friend, Buzz tries to escape the toy psychotherapy meeting.

Beer Of The Week: Full Of Fuller

I'm in London right now, and the first two days was basically a really long pub crawl for me. I wanted to go on the London Real Ale Trail, but didn't have time, so I just hoped into random bars and tried all the different ales they had.

Fuller's isn't exactly an unknown brand to Malaysians - it's available in several outlets, though only in bottle form. Never really liked the bottle one, but I decided to check out the draft version while I was here (Also cos I'd tried every other ale in this particular pub).

Anyway, Fuller's London Pride is pretty much par for course when it comes to ABV - only about 4.7%. It IS however a lot nicer tasting than I remember the bottle one being. Maybe because I was thirsty and eating fish and chips at the same time, but the beer really went down smoothly and was remarkably refreshing and pleasant.

I tried a whole lot of other ales in London, but surprisingly, Fuller's London Pride was one of the more memorable ones for me.

More real ale to come next time!

Vroom Vroom TWOOOO!

ARGH. Someone PLEASE give or buy me this set of three movie posters from Cars 2 PLEASE:

Speaking of Cars 2 posters, these country specific posters are pretty damn cool as well:

Freewheelin' Down Desolation Singapore!

Come gather round you people, to Singapore,

Because Dylan's in town, and I just had to go!

From KL, two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

And I'm prayin' that there ain't gonna be a hard rain that's gonna fall.

Ahoy! It's a 25 Year Old *Hic*

Mmmmm.... it's not everyday you get to try a 25 Year Old whisky that costs RM2800...

Behold, the Bunnahabhain 25 Year Old:



I got to try this at a Bunnahabhain whisky pairing dinner at Hilton KL's Senses restaurant, and boy was it good.

For an Islay whisky, it was probably one of the gentlest and mild I've ever tried (and I've tried A LOT of Islay whiskies), and also the least peaty of them all. In fact, it reminded me more of a Speyside whisky more than an Islay one.

The nose was fruity and floral, none of that strong medicinal smell you get in a Laphroig or an Ardbeg, and and it tasted brilliantly smooth, with a nice long nutty, fruity finish. AWESOME.

We also got to try the other whiskies in the Bunnahabhain range - the 12YO, 16YO and the 18YO - but this was DEFINITELY the highlight of the night.

*HIC!*

Hairy Bieber Dildo

Is it just me, or does this look like a really hairy dildo?

Yeah, that's the billboard next to the exit of the SMART tunnel. Imagine coming out of a tunnel just to see... THAT.

and wow, even my iPhone hates that girl-boy so much that it conveniently blocked out three letters of his name. Heh.

Happy St. Patrick's Day and Er... Merry Kilkenny!

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!

Yeah yeah, so we're not Irish and don't know half of what it means to be Irish... but hey, we ARE Malaysians, and if there's anything we're good at, it's stealing other people's holidays and passing it off as a great excuse to drink lots of beers. LOL.

Though I don't get why it's only Guinness that is hogging the spotlight. Kilkenny is Irish too! Give the ale some love too, godammit!

So yeah, Happy St. Patrick's Day y'all!

The Eyeris Quarter Impression Rule

How I Met Your Mother is awesome. No let me rephrase that - Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother is awesome. Unfortunately, you know when you've watched WAY too much How I Met Your Mother when you actually start talking like Barney Stinson and coming up with half-baked theories about men and women, AND give those theories NAMES.

This actually happened last night, when Fireangel and I were out having way too much Kronenbourg 1664 beer and tok-kok-ing about how guys check out girls and I came up with The Eyeris Quarter Impression Rule of Courtship.

You know how people say that the first impression is the one that counts? I say nay. For guys, it's actually way before that. Before you even hit the First Impression part of the courtship, guys tend to go through two other phases first:

Quarter Impression:
Check her out from the neck down. This is to er... make sure that she is actually a she.

Once it has been established that she is actually a she (and has a body that you wouldn't mind being... ahem, close to), comes the:

Half Impression:
Check her out from the neck up. This is to see if she's good looking enough and worth mustering the courage to go talk to her and face potential rejection.

Once the Quarter and Half impressions have been made (and is positive), THEN comes the:

First Impression:
Actually talking to her and getting to know her.

Ok fine, it's a little sad and maybe a little (ok, VERY) shallow, but if you think about it, this really is true (Admit it, guys!). And besides, it's a half-baked theory cooked up when I was high on beer. So yeah, it might be a little flawed (heh heh).

But hey, that goes to show that with a little (ok, A LOT OF) beer and some good tok-kok-ing company around, ANYONE can be Barney Stinson (ok no, Barney Stinson is awesome and no one can be him. EVER.)
