This album, a orchestra version of some of The Beatles famous tune is like... the music you would listen in hotel lobby or hotel lift.

It's relaxing but the music didn't really bring out the essence of The Beatles original music.

Just listen for the sake of relaxing :)

I strongly urge the following blogger, Colleen Thum, to continue her blogging

It's been more than a month since she said "to be continued... :p"

And it's not funny.

Sister in law, please second my appeal :P

There's a reason why I love Japanese chocolate - they are not too sweet, and the chocolate taste nice.

Half year ago (yeah, I know it's long time ago) I bumped into these two brands.

I've been buying Morinaga (as of half year ago) chocolate cos they tasted nice, and thought it'll be interesting to try van Houten (non Japanese company) chocolate made by Japanese company - Glico

Result?

Glico-van Houten - taste slightly sweeter, slightly expensive - RM8 -
Rating: 3/5

Morinaga - taste good, not-that-expensive - RM6 -
Rating: 4/5


You can get them at Jusco - Japanese food section (as of half year ago)

P/S: I stopped buying those chocolate not because of health reason - but because of cost-cutting measure T-T

Title: If Only You Know What I Mean II
Music: 2008-2009
Lyrics: 2008-2009

Short Note: The lyric is not as random as the previous one. Basically it tells that one should look forward no matter how bad the situation is - cos no matter what you'll still need to move on

I saw the men fight in group
With their hands in hands,
Very strange,
No one saved.

I thought the love
Isn't same as the game we played
One attempt,
You'll see that it's gone.

Of all that you'll miss,
Of all that you'll lose,
You will be glad to see that you're not alone.

So what can you prove on
And what can you do
You ought to find a way to leave your old past.

You've gotta fake it one more time,
You've gonna take this one last chance,
To be what you're not

You've gotta make it one more time,
You've gotta please them one last time,
To see what you've got.

Baby you were all that you seek,
All that you need isn't all that you want.

Baby you will see what I mean,
All that you seek isn't all that you've got.

A teenager painted this great art on the parents' £1million mansion, only to be found out a year later.

Of course, the boy will need to do the clean up by himself.

Verdict: Movie by kids, but definitely not for kids

I watched this movie because I couldn't stand the super hot weather in this region - to enjoy the cool environment in the cinema.

It's a good and bad choice, good being the aircon was really good.

Bad, because this is a bad movie.

I can't imagine the kids had no fear against the weapons - they were empty-handed with some Muay Thai skill.

Most importantly, they are kids - not a good education for kids.

Their fight and the choreography was getting repetitive and, sorry to say, boring.

Story was quite empty - there's nothing much to talk about except the fighting.

Seriously, if I were the villain, I would have shot my rifle at the kids when they started flying over me with Muay Thai.

THE WEATHER IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO FREAKING HOT THAT I DON'T THINK I'M GONNA HAVE NICE SATURDAY NIGHT (at home) & NICE SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I DON'T WANT HOT WEATHER.

I want hot chick, instead.

Verdict: Intriguingly exciting to watch - a dramatic space odyssey from an expert of drama.

This is a sci-fi movie that has all the needed element - dramatic, technology/science fiction that doesn't look cheesy, good plot and a good story line.

Two things I have to tell you:
1) I've never been a Star Trek fan, I remember I watched some of the drama when I was small, the impression is - boring
2) I didn't yawn thru out this movie, even though I'm tired

Another thing I have to tell you that this movie is directed and produced by Lost TV series (although I'm a fan for his first episode only) producer - JJ Abrams

It's not about a movie being action-packed, it's like watching a drama (supposedly dramatic with some humour, right?) on big screen, yet with good graphic effect that I love, the twist that I love etc

There's a lot of interesting scene as well *spoiler begins* - creation of black hole, parachuting, more advanced spaceship (??!) that doesn't belong to their age, some possible "ice age monsters" *spoilter ends*

I don't mind to watch second time again

This morning I had a dream - that I participated the contest, I ended up in 5th place :-)

But it wasn't a proper way - I drove the car to somewhere near the end point, then only I started running.

I had to act exhausted, running slow, and let the few person ran in front of me.

I'm a bastard, it seems.

Btw, I hope I can make it.. even though i'm only running 10KM :P

I'm not sure if Trevor's mum did this deliberately...

But last Sunday I was thrown into the washing machine again.

The initial request was from Colleen to get my younger brother Sebastian to swim.

Sebastian and I were then sleeping on sofa.

Then again, I woke up in the water, AGAIN! (just like two weeks ago)

When I asked Colleen why later, she said her mum couldn't recognise me and Sebastian.

This also means that Sebastian has yet to take a bath since he was born

I didn't know that the Speaker for the Perak State Assembly can be ousted in this way

nor did I know that Speaker can be re-elected instantly, with the presence of the existing Speaker.

And with police force needed for a State Assembly, does that mean that chasing out a Speaker or hunting down the people wearing black shirts, is more important than fighting crime in this country?

What a disgrace!

This photo is misleading, it's the theme park, not the creative market :P

I went to this creative market with my sister last Sunday. It was held at 7th floor, Berjaya Time Square - it was just beside the theme park.


My sister was quite happy trying out the accessories.


And happily spent the money, of course


There were many handmade accessories


Made by local


With their creativity


And... their sincerity :-)

This is my second dinner - clear tom yam seafood soup (RM20)


And this was my appetizer - Pandan Fried Chicken (RM10)


It was the tastiest pandan chicken I've tried so far - you don't even need to go with the chili sauce!

Price might be a bit expensive for Kepong but considering that it's an authentic Thai food (served by Thai people and cooked by Thai people and even the receipt was written in Thai)

It's not bad.

I did not quite like their Pineapple fried rice, cos it's a bit sweet (is that Thai style as well?)

I'll write a better review next time, after I tried their steamed fish

For the first time I appreciate it.

Cos it's faster than my Izzi!!!

Our family tried the chicken rice + bean sprouts, in Ipoh.


The portion was good and it was RM36 for 4 persons including drinks.

This is the best chicken rice we had tried so far in Ipoh. The other two previous were so so.

Rating: 3.5/5

I have fond memory of this town. Some part of the city is still well preserved - I felt as if I sat a time machine, went back to old time.


Apart from the nice food, the old building and surroundings slowed down my pace.


Which made me wondered at the time: "Why would people in KL rush like no tomorrow?"


Here, I felt as if the time was frozen

Verdict: Wrong combination of spices with junk food. Peri-peri is better with roasted chicken.

Am I saying that I'm a conservative fan of Nando's?

I was the one with red helmet

Last Friday I joined a white water rafting activity @ Kuala Kubu Bharu, Selangor - with total of 41 participants.

It's fun - but not as excited as I had thought to be, cos the rapid wasn't that strong (due to the dry season?)

However, after having fun, it was time to "suffer"


My burnt legs



That's not all... part of my leg hairs were tied up, random way.


Reason being my left leg was rubbing against the rubber boat during all the so called 'excitement', and hence the jumbled up.

Of course, it didn't feel funny, that I had to shave them off eventually.

That's not because I'm gay, I swear it.

Verdict: Comically fun to watch.

It'd be easy to watch a comic-adapted film, because you don't quite need to put logic into it.

Yet, it'll be hard for the movie adaption, because if you can't adapt it correctly, the comic fans will be disappointed, and the movie will look neither like a true story, nor a fiction.

So this movie, I'd say, marked the start of summer movie blockbuster series.

It has big budget, big cast, big scene, blockbuster-plot etc

I thought the starting of the movie was a bit slow, explaining Logan's laid back life on the mountain.

Yet, things changed when people start dying, unleashing Logan's beast side.

Logan (a.k.a Wolverine) tried to revenge, and that's when we get to see the big budget side of the movie - more varieties of mutants, fighting scene with mutant XI etc

I thought Remy LeBeau (Gambit) looked quite alike with Keanu Reeves

I thought the ending is like... too short? Everything was like settled within half an hour - the mutant XI didn't seem to be so indestructible after all..

Conclusion? It's quite like a guy's movie, but no harm to have a watch

Rating: 6.5/10

Verdict: Stunning visual effect (given that it's an early 80's movie) with good plot

I bumped into this old movie (1982) by a recommendation of my colleague.

The thing - refers to an alien awaken (from frozen state) thousands years later by human, who were doing research in Antartica.

I watched and I'm impressed.

The visual effect was good, the plot isn't that bad, and the isolation feeling was created to make you feel how helpless the survivors were.

Rating: 8/10

Verdict: This movie should be melted like a wax. Skip it at all cost

I watched this movie during the trip to Sungai Petani. Reason being there's nothing much to do during the night.

And it was exactly as expected - it's a movie that wasted my time.

There's no logic in it - it's a house of wax but it has a place to melt the wax, to build the wax figure - make sense?

It's a house of wax but it won't melt under the sunlight - make sense?

It's a house of wax (yes, everything was built with wax, including the floor, wall etc) but it won't melt with the hot spotlight in the house.

The movie is unnecessary violent, but given that the main actress Elisha Cuthbert is hot, hence the rating.

Rating: 1/10

Yesterday I had a nightmare.

I dreamed that I crashed my car - I bang into a car in front

My car was OK but the Myvi was badly crashed.

That moment, I was like "Oh F*** not AGAIN!" (FYI, I crashed my father's Myvi last year Valentine's day)

Luckily, the Indian family in the car was ok and they were able to argue with me.

Conclusion: I need to drive more carefully, more courteous, more un-Malaysian style.

This trip was purely a random trip. The whole family randomly found our way to Sungai Petani, randomly chose a hotel to stay, I randomly took a photo of the sky..


..just before we visited a drawing school - where the kids were having Father's Day Draw-My-Father's-Portrait with their father as their model.


I asked my sis randomly, to take a self-portrait photo with me, she gave me a =_= look.


My father randomly took a photo of the clock tower in the city centre


Then we went to Kuala Muda, a fishing village. I randomly took this photo...


...before we went to this fish market. The people there would whisper their price to the seller. The highest bidder will get the fish. Random.


Random shot of the fishes-on-sale


Random shot on the fishermen returning from sea


Random shot of a lotus flower, beside a paddy field, on the way we left Kedah.

I tried the doughnuts at their new branch in Time Square.

Verdict? Tasty on the first few bites (strictly on the original blazed flavour)

But I felt the oily-ness and filling-ness after that.

However, to be fair, before having the doughnuts (I ate three, at around 11AM), I had my wantan mee breakfast + 2 curry puffs and a bun.

Fair review? No. :P
