My Super Buckle...
Aha! Seronok gila dapat hadiah buckle Superman emblem ni... mana lagi aku dapat kalau tak KN kasi hadiah... kalau begini hari0hari dapat hadiah, serupa hari-hari sambut hari jadi kan? Hehehe begitu lah sayangnya KN pada aku (dan aku sayang KN jugak... huhuhu feeling lebih-lebih plak ek - jangan nyampah ek, dan jangan jeles jugak!)
Apa pun aku bersyukur tuhan kurniakan aku pasangan sebaik KN dan aku bersyukur ada insan yang sanggup berkorban apa saja untuk aku dalam apa jua keadaan; susah mahupun senang. Alhamdulillah.
Hmmm back to the Superman buckle tu... beli kat Metrojaya the Curve - since Metrojaya is the sole and official distributor of Superman items - selalu la nampaknya kami ke sana... ada masa nanti aku amik gambar uniform aku je hehehe dan seperti biasa tayang di sini.... again, jangan jeles!

The Death of Superman DVD

Haaaa.... akhirnya jumpa juga DVD ni - di mana? Di Buy Sell Trade dengan harga yang sungguh murah ekekeke... huhuhu gembiranya hati!

Here's a synopsis by dmtisdale_jr from imdb.com (malas nak tulis sendirik la ni... heheh)
In Metropolis, Lois Lane tries to sell editor Perry White on a story exposing Lex Luthor's phony charity scam. Perry will have none of it and tells Lois to let it go, then urges Clark Kent to be careful on his foreign correspondent assignment--and to try to remember to write the occasional story. Clark bids Lois and Jimmy Olsen goodbye.
Later, at his Fortress of Solitude, Superman agonizes over the fact that even with all his amazing powers he cannot come up with a cure for cancer, lamenting that he wants to be more than Earth's resident strongman. Lois asks Superman why he insists on bringing her to the Fortress so they can be alone, then accuses him of hiding his greatest secret from her--his true identity, which she claims she all but knows for certain already. Superman claims that he's doing so to keep her protected, but she insists he's doing it because he's afraid to commit.
Elsewhere, outside of Metropolis, scientists working for Luthor unocover an alien spaceship. They accidentally open the ship, releasing a monster who kills them all and begins a destructive and murderous rampage towards the city. At the Fortress, Superman's robot alerts him to the trouble, identifying the monster as a genetically engineered Doomsday weapon designed to destroy anything in its path. Superman flies Lois to Metropolis, then engages the monster in a terrific battle. The battle rages across the city until Superman flies Doomsday up into the stratosphere and brings the monster hurling down again, smashing a crater into the city of Metropolis. Doomsday is defeated, but Superman falls lifeless to the ground and dies in Lois's arms.
Lois, Perry, and Jimmy are among the thousands at Superman's funeral. Lois sees an elderly woman whom she recognizes from a photo on Clark's desk as his mother. Even Luthor arrives to apparently pay his respects. Later, when Perry urges Lois to take some time off, she journeys to Smallville and visits Martha Kent, saying that she (Lois) and Martha's son (as Superman) had been intimate for several months, and that Martha was the only other person who could understand how Lois felt in the aftermath of Superman's death. Martha invites Lois in for a cup of coffee.
With the loss of its greatest protector, the city of Metropolis is overrun by criminal activity. When the Toyman holds a schoolbus filled with children hostage atop a tall building, Lois attempts a rescue. She manages to free most of the children, but the Toyman throws the bus from the roof with Lois inside it. The bus plummets to the ground, but is caught at the last minute--by Superman, who has miraculously returned from the grave! Superman flies Lois to her apartment, where they say goodbye. Lois is concerned that Superman doesn't seem quite himself, but he passes that off as lingering effects from his near death experience. Superman makes his way to Lexcorp towers, where he finds Luthor in a room lit by red sunlight and brandishing a pair of kryptonite-studded gloves. Luthor beats Superman mercilessly, accusing him of leaving before his time. Luthor compliments the unconscious Superman for doing a very good job convincing the world that the Man of Steel had returned, then goes to a private lab where the body of the real Superman hangs in a suspension tank.
Later, at the Fortress of Solitude, Superman awakens on medical bed, attended by his robot. The robot explains that Superman's body had all but shut down following his battle with Doomsday, and that it took the robot some time to locate its master after Luthor stole the body. The robot tells Superman that Luthor had created a clone which was passing itself off as the real deal. Superman instructs the robot to do everything possibe to help him get back to full strength. Luthor discovers that Superman's body is missing from his lab.
Meanwhile, in Metropolis, the clone Superman hears that the Toyman had escaped prison and killed a little girl. Enraged, the clone grabs the Toyman and flies him high into the air, throwing him back to the ground. He explains to a shocked public that an example needed to be set, to prevent other criminals from similar actions. The dark clone then receives an assignment from Luthor--investigate Lexcorp competition and find Superman's body.
Lois visits Luthor, seemingly grieving, but knocks him out with a sedative and, with Jimmy's help, uncovers Luthor's secret lab, where he has grown hundreds of Superman clones to serve as his personal army. The dark Superman arrives and destroys the lab. Luthor hides in his red sunlight room, but the clone locks him in there, tears the room out of the building, and hurls it to the ground.
The real Superman has been receiving direct sunlight exposure and undergoing massive physical therapy to bring himself back up to full strength. Although he still has recovery to do, he realizes he has to face his dark clone and flies to Metropolis. His robot gives him a kryptonite gun as a way of evening the odds.
The army confronts the dark Superman, insisting that he must answer for his recent actions. Superman destroys their tanks and jets with his heat vision just before the real Superman arrives. The dark Superman claims that he is doing what is best for the people of Metropolis, but the real Superman says that the killing has to stop. Dark Superman easily disarms the real deal of the kryptonite gun, sending it miles away. The two fight in a massive battle, but the real Superman is poorly matched against his full strength doppleganger. Lois and Jimmy drive to the other side of town and retrieve the kryptonite gun.
In the final confrontation at the Superman memorial, Superman again gives all he has to defeat his enemy. Just as it looks like this fight will end as tragically as his last one, Lois arrives with the kryptonite gun. After a lucky shot, however, Dark Superman destroys the weapon. In the scuffle, the kryptonite charge gets wedged into Dark Superman's costume, and Superman detonates it with a blast of heat vision. With his dying breath, Dark Superman begs Superman to protect the people of the Earth, and Superman affirms that that's why he is here.
Superman convinces Lois that he really has returned this time, and agrees that they should have no more secrets--confirming that he is, in fact, Clark Kent. From his office in Lexcorp, Lex Luthor vows that one day, he will destroy Superman.
And here's the trailer for you to enjoy...

My First Nasi Lemak - Nasi Lemak Superman
Setelah berjaya buat sambal tumis dan pau goreng sambal, makan Kal El melangkah setapak lagi dengan mencuba masak Nasi Lemak. Bagi sesetengah orang Nasi Lemak ni dia masak tiap-tiap minggu, ada yang hari-hari tapi ini adalah kejayaan bagi Kal El yang pertama kali memasaknya. Heheheh buat malu je. Tapi ok la kan, lelaki yang masak... opsss terbocor rahsia jantina Kal EL muahhahaahha rahsia ke?

My First Pau Goreng Sambal - Pau Goreng Sambal Superman
Haaa kalau nak tau, ni la dia pau goreng sambal yang Kal El buat tapi shhhh! ada rahsia... pau ni tak jadi hehehe sebabnye? Kal El tengok resipi kat Internet dan Kal El tak tau yang adunan ni tak boleh di simpan dalam fridge. So penat la Kal El menggentel pau sambal ni semalaman dari pukul 8 sampaila pukul 11:30 malam. Bila nak digoreng keesokkan harinya semuanya melekat dan rasanya huk ala.... buruk gila. Yang herannya resipi ni suruh campur minyak, macam buat roti canai plak. Akhirnya... masuk ke tong sampah semuanya!
Tapi Kal El tak putus asa. Beberapa hari lepas tu Ka'Ngah datang rumah dan Kal El minta resipi dari dia. Dah lama Ka'ngah tak buat Pau Goreng Sambal ni. Yang Kal El suka adalah Pau Goreng Sambal yang dijual di kampung Papa di Pontian... Masa kecik-kecik dulu la... dah berkurun lamanya Kal El tak balik sana sebab dah takde sapa pun sana.
Resipi Ka'ngah seperti biasa menjadi dan amat sedap sekali. Rupa-rupanya kalau nak simpan dalam fridge/freezer buat jadi frozen food kene la di goreng sedikit dulu... kalau tak, alamatnya dalam tong sampah la perginya... melekat dan adunan pau tu pun rosak.

Here's how:
Campurkan serbuk roti Mauripan ke dalam cawan dengan air (paip yang difilter pun ok. Jangan pakai air sejuk nanti lambat naik) lalu kacau dan biarkan ia naik.
Setelah campuran tadi naik, curahkan pada 500g tepung gandum campur gula dan garam secukup rasa. (see, gula mesti ada hehehe) kemudian gaulkan....
Tambah sedikit air kalau perlu.
Dah sebati bulat-bulatkan adunan tadi. This is the hard part sebab akan melekat-lekat. Sediakan tepung gandum dan sapu pada tapak tangan supaya adunan tak melekat.
Leperkan adunan yang dibulat-bulatkan tadi, letak sambal di tengahnya dan pujutkan serta jadikannya bulat semula.
Goreng sedikit dan bolehlah disimpan dalam freezer untuk dijadikan frozen food. Nak makan terus goreng la sampai masak... jangan hangus plak ek.
Huhuhuhu terlapar plak tengok masakan sendiri!

My First Sambal Tumis - Sambal Tumis Superman
Salah satu masakan Ka'ngah yang Kal El teringin sangat ialah sambal tumis. Ka'ngah tahu cara masakan yang Kal El suka... pekat dan berapi! Kal El tak suka kalau sambal tumis cair apatah lagi kalau tak pedas. Dah menjadi tradisi keluarge belah mummy kalau masak pasti letak gula (bukan, kami bukan orang Kelantan tapi asal dari Kukup, Pontian), so sambal tumis ni pedas-pedas manis. (Patut la ada Kencing Manis ek?)
Kal El plan nak buat Pau Sambal Goreng menggunakan sambal tumis ni. Nak buat? Rupa-rupanya senang je buat sambal tumis. Tidak ler Kal El tau selama ni. Kalau tau senang macam ni dah lama Kal El cuba. Thank you Ka'ngah for the recipe. Macam-macam lagi nak cuba ni. Ok la boleh la tahan sedap (huhu puji diri sendiri... ye la KN tak makan pedas so dia tak dapat ler rasa dan memuji makanan Superman dia ni kan heheeh)
Here's how to cook this sambal tumis.
Cili kering (buang biji, sikit sikit ada takpe - takut perut bocor nanti kalau tak buang tapi kalau dah dasar pemalas, tak dapek Kal El nak tolong) - kemudian rebuskan cili kering tu untuk bersihkannya. Tos.
Bawang merah - jangan guna bawang bombay ek
Bawang putih
Blendkan Cili kering, bawang merah dan bawang putih.
Gula - Kal El letak dalam 10 sudu besar untuk 1 paket kecik sambal - dapat la satu tupperware tu
Garam sket
Caranya:
Panaskan minyak (Tips: letak banyak cepat masak, dah masak nanti bolh buang sket minyak dia)- make sure betul-betul panas dan masukkan kisaran cili dan bawang tadi
Masukkan juga gula dan garam (rasa-rasa la masa masak tu nanti, tak cukup tambah lagi)
Goreng dengan sangat lama dengan api yang perlahan sambil kacau-kacau sambal tu supaya tak hangus. Kalau kaler dia dah agak gelap dari asalnya (bukan gelap hangus ek) maka dah masak ler... make sure masak betul kang sakit perut kang!
Siap! makan dengan roti pun sodap... buat sambal nasi lemak lagi sodap... buat pau goreng sambal pun lagi sodap... makan dengan nasi letak telur rebus pun sodap.....
p/s kalau tertanya-tanya kenapa tak letak ikan bilis... 1. Kal El tak makan ikan 2. sambal tumis ni memang kosong intentionally...
Ok la... Kal EL namakan sambal tumis ni Sambal Tumis Superman... boleh simpan dalam freezer buat dimakan lain kali... heheh untuk orang bujang especially! Selamat mencuba! Ada berani?

Wish List for My 33rd Birthday
Hari ini genap umurku 33 tahun. Dalam usia yang baru hendak merangkak ini pelbagai dugaan dan keperitan hidup telah aku lalui. Berbagai keindahan hidup juga telah aku kecapi. Alhamdulillah jika Kal El masih bernafas hari ini dan syukur atas segala nikmat yang Allah telah dan insyaAllah akan berikan. Setiap dugaan yang Allah beri, Kal El cuba sedaya upaya menempuhnya dengan tabah dan tawakal. Tak banyak yang Kal El mahukan sempena hari jadi yang ke 33 ini. Dari segi material sudah banyak yang Kal El miliki.
So, all I want for my 33rd Birthday are these:
1. I want my family to be forever united and happy. Saling hormat menghormati dan saling sayang menyayangi. Kal El tak mau ada yang bermasam muka, berhasad dengki ataupun iri hati. Pada adik beradik Kal El yang hanya 2 orang, ingatlah tak akan putus air walaupun dicincang.
2. I want good health for Ka'Ngah, Papa and my siblings so that they will live long to see each other grow old and to take care of one another
3. I want Ka'ngah and Papa to be taken good care of sebagaimana mereka telah menjaga kami adik beradik dengan baik dan penuh kasih sayang.
4. I want KN to be forever considered a part of the family even when I am no longer around. KN has sacrificed a great deal for me in our nearly 7 years together and not even my siblings have taken care of me like KN has.
5. When I die, I want my children to be taken care of only by KN and no one else and that KN should be given the financial assistance from what I had left to take care of the fur kids.
And last but not least,
6. I want a SUPERMAN Birthday cake heheheh...

Superman Returns Premiere - Midvalley Megamall 270606
Upon arrival at GSC Cinema around 7:30pm, the place was already crowded with RHB crews, TV crews awaiting arrival of the VIPs and VVIPs at the red carpet event. We were greeted by friendly RHB staff and were told to be at the hall by 9:00pm.
While waiting for 9:00 we went to Metrojaya to see more Superman toys. Ahahaha I got hooked with some things there but didn't buy - darn my gaji belum masuk!
The security check was very strict. No handphones or no electrical devices allowed. I was expecting Superman Returns door gift but was disappointed as the Premiums were only for contest winners - ahahah what contests? Maybe i spent too much time at the office and were not aware of contests.. contests? My love somehow managed to get me an original Superman Returns poster (that I will frame and hang in my room). I ended up buying the GSC Superman Returns pop corn set just to get me a 3D coaster - OMG! I just remembered I left the pop corn in the microwave 3 days ago!
A piece of Coaster.. that will do.
In Hall 12 (screenings of Superman Returns were in Halls 1 - 13) there were bags filled with a small pop corn and a can of coke - damn i wasted 8 bucks just to get a Superman coaster.. ahahahah padan muka!
To be continued...

Superman Returns Premiere - Midvalley Megamall 270606 - Part 2
The Movie:
Overall, I would rate the movie OK. Some elements of surprise (Superman has an illegitimate son), an exceptional idea of Lex Luthors operating from a ship, Lex's obsession of wanting a land of his own continues from the last Superman movie and many more.
I have to admit, the starting were quite dull, and yes, coming straight from the office, I nearly dozed off right in front of my greatest all time Superhero. I think the movie this time focused too much on Superman's and Lois Lane's emotion - as an all time fan, i prefer the actions to the emotions.
Anyhow, I enjoyed myself at the screening and I am glad that my Superhero has returned. Way to go Superman!
Thanks again sayang for taking me to the Premiere!
p/s: I think the new boots look funny too - seems oversized - is it the boots or Brandon Routh?

Today is THE Day
Yes! Today is THE day he returns! SUPERMAN RETURNS!
Going to the RHB Premiere at Midvalley City this evening. Dress code: formal, but i am wearing my Superman T inside and a Superman band aid. Ahahaha just getting into the mood.
Can't wait to indulge in this long awaited return. I have eyed a 'All About Superman' book at Borders Times Square. Will cost me a good 80 bucks but worth to know all about Superman in there.
Today is also my dad's birthday - Happy Birthday Papa. SuperWolf loves you!
