I got my hands on......IT!

Well I missed the football match between Brazil and Mexico but it didnt matter because I had a good sleep as compensation for the match. And Brazil lost anyway.. Oh boy... guess I didnt miss much then. BUT finally I got my hands on "SEPET"!! before that let me bore you with my morning....

I woke up at 6.00 this morning and I kept myself in bed for another hour since it was too early to go anywhere. Went for a jog at the lake around 7.30.... I really jogged instead of run today. Just wanted to sweat. Anyway, I went for breakfast at the car park ( below the Chamber of Commerce) and today as I was having my regular plate of wan tan me kon lou I suddenly thought about how long it has been since the first time I came to eat at the place. I've been frequenting that place for 8 years now. Oh boy... how time passes by. I still remember the first time I went there was after a morning scouts training session on a Saturday. Seniors recommended the place and it stuck since. Since then we've recommended it to our friends and juniors and so on. Its kinda the place where SGI guys would surely go for breakfast after a walk/jog at the lake. Hope it will still be there another 8 years down the road. But i dont see anyone younger than 17 from my school anymore though. Hmmm....

Anyway the highlight of the morning was when I went to the Plaza Perbandaran to look for some DVDs to kill time for the afternoon. There was only one shop open and I thanked God that my luck didnt totally run out. I was looking through the DVDs when the owner asked me what show was I looking for, I told him that I was just browsing through. After a while I couldnt find any I wanted and since I'm going down to PG in 2 days to catch Orangkelawar and En. & Pn. Smith I declined when he recommended them to me. Then I thought of a movie that I wanted ... I asked the guy "Uncle, pun te (local) he chut hi'e, teng nang ai huan na eh uu bo?" ( the local movie where a chinese guy likes a malay girl got ar?) to which he replied " oohh .. her le huan na hi'e hio" ( the Malay movie issit) . He rummaged through his black plastic bags for a while then returned and said it was not at his shop, at home. He asked me to come back at night but I was lazy and told him nevermind.

I continued to look through the DVDs and suddenly the guy when to the back of his shop, put his hands inside the table cloth and tried to look for something underneath. I was thinking "What the hell is he looking for inside there??? cockroaches??? or bread crumbs left behind from last nite?". After a brief moment his hand came out from underneat the table cloth holding the movie I was looking for. I had the "^_^ expression when he gave it to me. Still wondering who would keep it under the table cloth. He told me he had to keep it there because he feared the authorities would catch and summon him if they found the bootleg version of "SEPET".

Yea right! Uncle!... As if ur whole shop selling ORIGINAL DVD AND VCDs!!!! As if not having "Sepet" above the table would make ur business legitimate ( long phiak!). I almost wanted to laugh out but I just smiled at him and paid the money and went home. So I popped it into the DVD player and started watching it.. LOL.. it was fun but I only managed to watch half of disc one before I had to go out again. Anyway I'll post up my thoughts and short review of the show a later after I watched it.

And remember the lesson of this morning, you are doing a legal business by selling bootleg VCD and DVD unless you are selling bootleg versions of "SEPET". LOL....
