Trevor said that with this photo, it's enough to justify I 'already had the jungle experience'

That's very kind of him.

#@!$%#^%^&^ (the foul language is the same in bear language :-3)

In the movie ending credit, I found that the remix version of Boom Boom Pow was good.

I tried hard to search since last week, and finally, found this:

Black Eyed Peas Featuring DJ Ammo Poet Named Life - Boom Boom Pow (Remix)

and the link to download, here

For educational and 24 hours listening only purpose, of course :P

Verdict: Better than previous installment, lots of conversation but not much action

To compress a thick book into a 3 hours movie wasn't an easy task - you can't miss the important point and yet you can't let the people talk too much - action scene is also required.

So this director did well than in the previous episode (which has really few action scene)

Of course, book is still better but I'm gonna give two thumbs up to the director for making this film ;)

Therefore, I support the director's decision to split the next (and the last) episode into two movies - hopefully better action scene will be included.

P/S: Hermione has well grown up ;)

Rating: 7.5/10

Verdict: If you buy Will Ferrell's joke, then fine. Else, an optional movie

If you look for visually stunning, adventurous journey in this movie, look for other movie such as Jurassic Park.

Else, this is just a typical Will Ferrell movie that gives his typical style of jokes (for reference, you may look for Step Brother).

Some fun moment to watch but nothing much there to offer.

Rating: 5/10

Verdict: Solid storytelling and acting

This movie, which is true (as in, near 100%) to the history, is definitely worth a watch.

It tells how Queen Victoria, the then Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (er, what a long name, God saved the Queen) struggled to become da-man(woman)-in-da-house to rule the country, which prospered very well (back then)

From starting till the end, it's not boring at all.

The only discount I would give on this movie was some corny session when they 'talk about love'

Else, everything is perfect - a serious movie with serious production that doesn't bore.

Rating: 9/10

Starting from 12 o'clock, clockwise: some seafood curry (squid, prawn etc), some fried pig's feet, Japanese bean curd, stir-fried long bean, two big plates of fried chickens. The middle: curry fish head.

We had dinner at this restaurant after the Taman Negara trip.

Good portion with good taste.

10 persons and we spent like RM20 each.

Worth the money la ;)

On the last night in Taman Negara trip, we played card games and made punishment on each and other.

That's my 'after' look.

Last Friday, Jusco Kepong (I'm not sure bout other branches) had this "Jusco Carnival sales".

So, free parking for this day and it was very 'people mountain, people sea' (literally translated from Mandarin, which means 'crowded')


And caused traffic jam on the exit from car park.

This is a good sign - people are willing to spend, which is good for economy :-)

Verdict: Kids will find this movie fun to watch - for adult, just watch for fun :-)

It's kinda fun to watch this movie - the alien, their technology (although just some small time show off) - but it is not as grand as what it's shown in the poster.

It's cool to see The Rock had made full use of his acting talent, from wrestling into the real movie acting.

A decent movie to watch, but expect no more.

Rating: 6/10

While I was taking a rest on the chair, the hostel owner, a Malaysian, approached me.

He asked where do I come from - I said I'm from KL.

He said "Oh, KL, a lot of mess going on - protest and caused big impact on the economy. I don't understand why - because the government had already given freedom to access internet, they can voice out in internet - why chose to protest?"

I didn't counter his comment, I just smiled.

From that statement, we can know few facts:

1) The current government had clearly made full use of the traditional media to brain-wash the citizen who has limited access to the internet.

Peaceful rally, if it's well organised, will definitely not cause big impact on the economy.

Instead, if it's well handled, the people who came into town, could even spend in the town after the rally.

And instead, what we learned is that the police force used all kind of measure to stop this rally.

So who's the culprit here?

2) Internet is definitely not the place for freedom of speech - this country still has 'law', such as sedition law to control the so called 'freedom of speech'.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I'm not sure what would happen for the General Election # 13, it could be similar like Thailand - where people in city centre voted out Thaksin, but in rural area, where they have limited access to information, would vote Thaksin, probably as a result of some "brain-wash" activity.

But of course, I hope for a country which will not rule by race, but rule by citizenship.

Again, it's isn't easy to achieve that. The fact is, the three major descendants (more appropriate than 'race'?) are still very stubborn to maintain their own legacy, everybody is waiting for others to make the first move, everybody is trying to be the first to cry out "That's not fair to us" rather than "That's good for all of us"

Sad but true.

Lately I heard this song from radio as well as from my colleague's pc ;)

This two-year old song, it sounds sad (both the melody and the MV) but somehow I feel that it carries some positive message too.

Acoustic version:

I saw this trailer two weeks ago - me and my sister got the goose bumps, and yeah, another half year to wait is way too long!

It's always nice to see Tim Burton's creativity and his skill to turn fantasy into 'reality' (movie)

Can't wait till March 2010!

I got the first bill after my dad's and sis' phone become my supplementary lines.

So the bill was quite confusing. (and it still is)

But I found that they didn't include my sis' bill as itemised - but they did for my dad's.

So I called up, and customer service said it could be due to when they convert from Digi to Maxis (my sis was a Digi subscriber) they didn't setup the itemised billing.

They will send the hardcopy of the itemised billing, but at the cost of RM5.

Initially I asked for softcopy but they said they don't have this option.

So RM5 is still needed for the itemised billing record.

In the end, I told him that "it's not my fault for not having the itemised billing set up.

First the customer service didn't ask for my opinion on whether to activate this option.
Secondly I'm not gonna pay for your mistake for not setting up the itemised billing."

End of the day, I got:
1) Itemised billing record (for my sister) to be mailed to me free of charge
2) Itemised billing setup for the next cycle onwards.

And for this, my sis only told me "good boy"

Yah, I saw no difference with "good dog"

But at the end of the day, it feels nice to fight for the rights - for I'm quite a soft person :P

This morning I had a dream - I went to Finland to visit Ronnie.

Ronnie brought me to his soon-to-be new house.

It's a three stories house and the seller (happens to be his colleague) was also selling along with the BMW X1.

I was wondering at that time - how did Ron get so much money to buy such a cool stuff - he must have been doing good in same investment.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Reality check: In the past few days I was thinking bout doing some investment - which I've no idea how to go about it at all.

But I do know if the investment is doing good, I can afford better things like what I dreamed.

Verdict: Unnecessarily gory & disgusting however provided some gripping moment.

The horror movie that has gotta do with Wes Craven seems to have gory,disgusting and violent element.

So this remake of his own movie back in the 70's is no exception.

There were some gripping moments and made you feel helpless for the victims in the movie - but nothing much.

It's all about being bad person and revenge - in bloody and brutal way.

You may choose not to have lunch before or after watching this :P

Rating: 3/10

Actually this trip was relaxing.

There were few hours when there's no activity, I just sat on the chair, looking at the sky in the kampung-feel place - thinking & doing nothing.

Sometimes, you don't have to do something to get something.

Yeah, this time, I did nothing but I gained the relaxing part.

Well, guess what - I didn't go for this trip, this time.

Reason being I could feel that there's not much of interesting things in this trip.

And that it's in an ancient jungle - I could go wild.

Most importantly - it doesn't give me the achievement feel like the previous KK trip:

Since yesterday, the day has been like this.

Which is good because the rain can reduce the haze in the air (which causes flu everywhere)
and gives the refreshing feeling that's much needed.

So what makes them thinking that a transition needs 6 months to happen?

What about my current transition - which was 2 weeks notice, and merely 1 day transition - strictly speaking?

This is a big organisation - yet you have so many workforce issues - On what are you trying to sell?

On what can you sell?

Yes headcount is a cost - but if you stress people - talented people will leave - it is a greater lost.

If you think we are contributing high cost to the company - very simple, once we find the job, we will leave.

We leave because we don't agree with this company anymore.

We leave because you don't care about employee anymore.

We leave because you treat employee as cost, not asset.

Maybe that should be the target number of posts for this year.

But I'll do a reality check, during the end of September :-)

Btw, 555 notebook is a nostalgic item during my primary school time.
