Buffet Bond

Hujan. 6.15 ptg dan aku tersangkut di ofis sbb hujan. Time aku bawak keta dtg ofis, hari panas terik. Time aku bawak motor hujan la pulak.. hmmm. Berbuka ngan air kosong la jawabnya ari ni. Tah kul baper baru leh makan. Tapi ok gak at least bleh update blog aku. Aku cuma harap masa free macam ni aja la.. kalau tak mmg tak sempat nak update.

Semenjak aku kerja agensi kerajaan ni, biasanya bila time bulan puasa mmg banyak undangan berbuka puasa di luar. Biasanya buffet ramadan kat hotel la. Unit aku iaitu Unit IT ni mmg salah satu unit yang paling banyak dapat invitation. Semua vendor2 kitaorang and vendor2 yang nak cucuk line or nak masuk tender for sure akan ambil kesempatan untuk undang potential or existing customers in the name of business. Biasa la kalau nak buat bisnes kena la kuar duit sket. Tahun ni dah 2 undangan aku dah pegi. First one was at the Westin Hotel, Jln Bukit Bintang. The buffet was nice but the interior design of the place was magnificent. Nampak very chic and trendy. And dia dah convert the conference room to a very posh looking bilik sembahyang . The second was at Hotel Singgahsana, PJ. Rabbani was there to perform, so that was nice. Ustaz Asri voice can bring chill down your spine, man. Dia azan Maghrib untuk kitaorang berbuka hari tu. Masa tengah berbuka tu aku perasan yang ramai orang mula datang ke meja sebelah aku. It turns out that Adam AF2 ngan group dia was sitting right next to our table so ramai la peminat dia yang datang nak amik gambar ngan dia. Nak berbuka pun tak berapa selesa sebab ramai orang kerumun kat meja kitaorang. Susah gak jadi artis ni kan nak melayan peminat-peminat. Occupational hazardz, maybe. There's a funny moment when Ustaz Asri of Rabbani spontaneously undang Adam naik ke pentas untuk say a few words. Dia siap nyanyi chorus lagu Tak Tahu with his thick Arabian accent siap dengan dengung dan idhamnya! The crowd was laughing like crazy. Very funny to hear him sing that way.. Boleh tahan gak Uztaz ni. Lepas Adam naik tu dia minta maaf sebab his version, in his words 'bunyi Arab sket...'. Hehehe..

Last Sunday, my girlfriend and I went hunting for a digital camera at Bukit Bintang. Saja nak compare prices. We are going nuts about Panasonic Lumix FZ5. Banyak review yang aku jumpa dalam internet suggest that the camera was very,very good. So aku rasa by next week maybe boleh dapat la kot digital camera. Finally, dapat jugak beli digital camera, walaupun terpaksa buat easy payment scheme sebab tak mampu nak beli cash. Boleh la aku upload banyak sket gambar dalam blog ni. Tu pun kalau girlfriend aku kasik pinjam sebab kamera tu kamera dia.. hehe. Masa kat Bukit Bintang tu we met up with Fadz sebab aku janji nak pinjamkan dia citer Night Watch untuk completekan dia punya '10 days to halloween movie marathon'. Kita tunggu review dia kat blog dia. In the meantime, baca review kat blog ni dulu.

So the big news this week in entertainment has got to be the announcement of Daniel Craig as the new James Bond. Daniel who?? If you noticed Daniel Craig was in Sylvia, Road To Perdition and Layer Cake. He's a very good actor indeed dan memang terbukti lakonan dia bagus. Tapi as we all know, James Bond yang kita kenal daripada dulu is a very suave, stylish looking bloke with a killer instinct. Melihat kepada Daniel Craig ni, aku memang tak sure dia memang sesuai atau tak untuk pegang watak James Bond. Maybe jugak the producers of Casino Royale was looking for something different. Bagi aku, Clive Owen adalah orang yang paling sesuai untuk watak Bond ni. Or maybe Jason Statham. We'll see what Daniel Craig has to offer. Aku masih ingat ada satu TV movie lakonan anak Sean Connery (..my fave Bond) Jason Connery. The film was Spymaker and it was about the secret life of Ian Fleming and it was a very bad TV movie. In my mind, Jason Connery was the first blond Bond. Jason Connery has the honour of turning James Bond into James Blond. Let' s just hope that Daniel Craig doesn't turn Casino Royale into another Spymaker.

But all this talk about James Bond makes people forget the best thing about a Bond movie, at least for me. Not the cool gadgets, or the fancy clothes, or the shaken but not stirred Martinis, or the menacing villains. But Bond girls. Aaah.. Bond girls. Who's your favourite Bond girl? My favourite is between Diana Rigg in On Her Majesty Secret Service and Honor Blackman in Goldfinger. Who is the next Bond girl? That would be interesting to find out....
