Both of them brought me to one utama (one of the famous shopping complex in Malaysia). We were considered lucky to get a car park, considering a public holiday on that day. We went for lunch in a fish bar (i think a fish bar, lol). My sister ordered this "New York 'something' fish with cheese" (could not recall the full name of the fish) and she said that is the best fish dish ever in that restaurant lol. So, my lunch for that day is cheesy fish and chip, and seriously, very yummy.

Roy ordered a bowl of soup and a tonic cola (drink) for me. This soup is very special to me. It looks like a normal chicke mushroom soup, but when I start drinking the soup, I can taste some fresh fish meat in my mouth :P lol. According to both of them, the fish tastes much better than those found in the Manhattan Fish Market. For me, hmm, as long as it is eatable and tasty, then plus 1 point to the restaurant lol.

Okay, lunch is over. We rushed to the Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) to purchase three tickets for "Dragon Ball Evolution". I saw Roy rushed to the Gold ticket counter and I said "are you buying us gold screen tickets?" and generously, he answered "no, but do you prefer to watch in the golden screen?". I am expecting him to buy three gold class tickets if I say yes, should be more pleasant to watch in the gold class screen, but should cost alot more (i heard around x5 or x6 the price of a normal ticket)? He is really a nice guy who knows how to take care of his gf's brother's feelings and not only his gf, haha. Good good. Anyway, I have been a fan of the dragon ball comic since I was a teenager. I think the dragon ball comic is very addictive, and fun to read. I also have a complete set of the comic books in my desk now :P Though I know the dragon ball story well, I still wanted to watch this Stephen Chow's movie. Hmm, the story is totally different in the first half, than the original storyline. Firstly, few important characters were missing, i.e. Harlem who is Goku's best companion. I wonder how Stephen Chow is going to merge the story in later on (if he is planning for the next part of the dragon ball story). There are a total of 43 dragon ball story books, and this movie only reveal the summary of the first 13 books (as in
getting the story from few diffferent sections from the book no. 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13)? i think he need to have a few more dragon ball evolution movies before Goku can turn to a super saiyan lol. unless he summarize the story again in the "Dragon Ball Evolution: II". Overall rating for this movie is 3.5/10 for a dragon ball fan like me :(

When the movie ends, my sister suggest to wonder around the shopping complex before dinner. I still feel very full, probably the fish was not fully digested in my digestive system lol. Okay, we came to this shop selling a lot of televisions. What amazed me is this gigantic TV! Take a look at the size and the price of this Panasonic TV in the picture below, W0W!

Anyway, the TV is not important since I have no plans in getting one in the future. Finally, we plan to have our dinner at Kim Gary (a restaurant owned by Hongkies). As usual, i ordered cheesy pork with rice for dinner. Roy ordered some (i think) chips with tartar sauce (no pictures taken, well, I have forgotten to capture one).

We went to a book store and spend few hours reading books in that shop before going to the Safari (a pet shop) in the other shopping complex. I spend hours reading this particular psychology book (very glad that the book stores in Malaysia will allow their customers to sit down and read any books that they want). There, I managed to understand something new and so to be included into my PhD thesis (going to critisize it in some ways lol). I also found this book name "When men die first". This book should be very interesting though there are no ways for me to read this book (sealed properly in a plastic wrapper). Many people told me that a male will usually die earlier than a female human. Is that something true? Not to me since I have read an article stated the longest living person on Earth is at age 159, followed by 129, 121 and 120. All of them are male humans.

Although not reading this book, but some medical papers have explained that numerous research have proven that eating dark chocolates (only dark chocolates) regularly will expand a person's life span for a year, and consuming tofu / soya oftenly will increase that person's life for 3 years. Additional ways to expand a person's life is to attend Yoga exercises more often. That will extend a person's life by 2 years.

Before leaving back to home, we spend approximately 40 minutes in this Safari (not a real safari, but a huge pet shop). I have captured some pictures of reptiles found on earth, and they look very gross. Therefore, I will not paste all pictures taken there. When snapping pictures around the shop, I managed to sneak into a "no entry" room. There, I found many poor baby hamsters locked in those plastic crates. They were waiting patiently for their owner to bring them home :( These baby hamsters (in the picture below) reminded me of the 3 baby hamsters that Tracy and I had since year 2004 (will not explain it so detail over here).

Finally, before going home, my parents brought me out for supper, lol. Shark fin or abalone may look tasty, but I still prefer having these as a meal.

And finally, this is a special pink pineapple that I have not seen before. I think it looks special since most people have not seen a pineapple and it's leaf. A short history of pineapple, and I am not sure how true it can be. Someone discovered the first ever grown pineapple on earth in Trent Park, near Oakwood station in London, United Kingdom.

From my observation, Roy loves cherry flavour foods / drinks, and love fries, and his favourite sauce should be tartar, LOL! I might be wrong anyway. Hmm, how can I evaluate Roy and his personality? Hmm, firstly, thumbs up. He is a very nice person, not really as shy as you think he is, lol, very helpful, soft, polite, though sometimes very decisionless. I will try to observe him a little more and will post it somewhere on blog. Thanks to Roy and my sister for willingly to spend one whole day with such a boring person.
