Way'Ree'Us

It's been a while now. Partly because I'm usually occupied during my internship (be it work or MSN) and the laptop's condition (its backlight not working, one hand has to hold a torch light trailing the mouse). But it's all good now as the internship has come to an end and my brother is back from his Aussie trip with another laptop.

Although my internship only lasted for a few weeks, trust me the goodbye part wasn't easy. I'm not too sure of how internships worked in other places but I definitely feel that our bunch as a whole was really fun. Plus I am not too sure if it's ironic or merely unfortunate, but I was introduced to all the big-timers in EY only during the last day there.

Malaysian celebrity promoters can go really far. T-shake. Could you guess what's that? If you had spend RM59 buying Hannah T's (Hannah Tan, that is) 'premium' album (that's the only version they have), like me, then you would probably know. To enter yourself to a chance to win some funky prizes, not only do you need to write the usual slogan, but you would need to take a picture of yourself doing the most creative T-shake you could possibly think of.

How many of you all even knew there was such a... shake? And if you had actually checked the album cover out, I bet this could be your first reaction:
1) bloke: that's red hot!
2) chick: how did this pass the censorship board?
3) the Issue readers: Ben was right.

More local flavour. I was having dinner at Sakae Sushi when Reshmonu performed live outside Laundry bar. But to be honest I really didn't know when was he singing and when was it that someone was just doing an opening or supporting set. I would actually have loved it if we could just dine outside Laundry for the whole night. But it didn't really matter. By the time we finished, I only managed to watch half of Reshmonu's Superfine performance. I was immediately captivated. It was FUN and that muruku head guy could actually sing darn well! (Dear muruku, I did not mean it as an insult to call you this. I just don't know of other words to describe your hairdo. It's not braids, it's not locks, I'm just clueless) I am yet to go CD shopping again, although I certainly hope Mr Monu's album doesn't come in a premium package.

Nike flagship store in KLCC. Anyone who's into sneakers or just shoes could probably not miss the big Air Force 25 High (all-white) canvas hanging in the store's display. But I wonder what's the point. The manager wasn't helpful nor did she even looked at me in the eye when she talked. Nor did she know if the High all-white model was ever going to be available in Malaysia. Aesthetics? Possibly. They just want us to know that Air Force One is celebrating its 25th anniversary and we could only pray that the good ones will be here, for selling that is.

Ben, whine on.

(By the way, a T-shake is done by crossing your forearms or two index fingers together. From what was illustrated it looked like it was done by a single person. From its name, being a shake, I wonder if it should be done by two people crossing the forearm/index finger with the other)
