The weekend of all sorts...

" Because he is the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now ... and so we'll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he is not a hero. He is a silent guardian, a watchful protector ... a dark night... " - Lt James Gordon, Batman : The Dark Knight

After 3 weeks away from my nest, it was high time for me to fly back to my home- due to another postponement of the x-ray check and that my co-curriculum have not start yet. My last class was at 12 noon and by 12.30pm, i was all packed and ready to go home. From the gate of my university, i boarded the bus to Medan Kidd and from there, i again took another bus to Medan Gopeng before purchasing the bus ticket to go to Puduraya, KL.

It was all on schedule, until the massive traffic congestion near Puduraya interrupted and delayed my arrival in KL. As a result, i reached home about 8.15 pm, empty-stomached, only filled with excitement for the weekend. I had to rush through my dinner as we had planned to go out for movie later in the night.

Too late... but it wasn't the last. Since we missed the earlier show, the next slot was at 12.30 midnight. Who cared, i seriously miss the night life in KL. And so it was, the Dark Knight at midnight, TGV KLCC. As for the show, we raised our expectation so high that somehow, we didn't reach the point of satisfactory. Why?


Simply because we expected more in the 2 hours plus show. However, if you're looking for a show filled with dynamics and manipulation, this show shall be top in your list. Together with it's effect and old-time favourite, the BatMobile, this show might as well be the show to watch. Plus, this show has broken the record. Minutes of silence to Heath Ledger here as he played the role of the Joker incredibly outstanding. Credits should be given to others too, like Cristian Bale.

The show ended about 3 in the morning and we headed home. Broke my early morning wake up pattern, i was only up and about at 10.30am. Prepared myself to go to KLCC- Convention Center as there was a Pikom PC Fair on. My dad drove and found a place to park our car before descending the vehicle. Wow... The crowd was overwhelmingly huge. We were like sardine in a can and mostly people-see-people. We had to follow the flow of the current and tried not to oppose it- imagine the crowd. My intention there was to get a pendrive and try looking for a laptop. I achieved the first but not the latter. Kingston 4G was sold at only RM 39. I thought it was a value buy so i bought it. As for the laptop, i just browsed through the flyers and indecisively left without it. I recall, it was my first time to the PC Fair and it was an experience.

Had lunch at a newly-opened Kopitiam. Food was average, but here in UTP, i still miss the food there. Later, i did some report work i brought back from Uni before heading for dinner. After dinner, it was time for MTV Asia Music Award 2008, proudly held in the Arena of Stars, Genting Highlands. The award ceremony lasted for 2 hours plus- from 11pm to 1.30am. Another late night...

Sunday. As evening started to roll in, i started to pack my stuffs to bring back to Uni. Two fully load bags. Had dinner at home before boarding the 8.30pm bus back to Uni. Safely arrived at Uni with my senior at 11.30pm. Too tired, i went straight to sleep and only unpacked the next day.

What a weekend of all sorts? wc08 is thrilled to have gone home and is eager for what this week brings.
