The Ugly Truth

Boo!

Busy busy week, lots of things going on here... but no right time to blog yet. Well, besides my weird working hours, recently I started on a new game, Heroes of Newerth. It's basically a standalone Dota, made by S2 Games. Just visit their site to know more, it's still closed beta now and I believe there are plans to make the game open beta pretty soon, it's all about profit. Feel free to let me know if you have an account in the game and would like to join us in games. =)

During the long weekend due to Hair Raya, I went to Penang with my family and EdeNz, to visit my grandfather, we do have fun eating lots of the local delicacies too, after all what's there to do in Penang besides eating. =p It's fun but it's tiring too, travel long distance and lack of sleep...


Since it has been a while from the last movie I watched, we decide to watch The Ugly Truth on Tuesday, heard it's funny so we give it a try with Matt, Emus and Alvin at Sunway Pyramid. The show is great, it's really very funny, although the movie is kinda short...

The movie basically involve things like men and women in relationships, what both gender wants and what people are looking for out there... The main guy in the show doesn't believe in all the lovey-dovey stuff, ended up falling in love with a girl which believe there's a perfect guy out there in this world. The whole show is funny, really enjoyable... there are some sarcastic comments here and there, jokes are good that they made me laugh out loud. =)

It's good to watch comedy like this once in a while, it helps releasing some stress and it's definitely better than watching some crap action movie which doesn't have a good ending. I truly enjoyed the show and definitely hope there are more good quality comedies in the future, life is stressful, we need more jokes to forget everything in the real world. XD

Birthday.

Boo!

Sunday is gonna be over in no time, it's workday again. *sigh* I guess there isn't much people that is happy to go to work, what's better than being be able to laze around at home and do whatever you want? =p

My birthday was like 2 weeks back, only posting now because I'm busy and lazy at the same time, busy with new job, lazy to get the photos... Birthday was fun, I get to celebrate for 3 days, because my birthday falls on a weekend and Monday is public holiday due to National Day. XD

Saturday is shopping day, EdeNz and I went to One Utama, that's like the first time ever... me going there just to shop, well... my experience that day tells me that the place isn't that great. I guess I will still stick with Mid Valley and occasionally Sunway Pyramid. I did bought some stuff, maybe I will post some photos here next time, but I do have a shopping photo album on Facebook. =)

We also went Neway, singing is always fun lol... but it's tiring if you keep singing for 3 hours, don't even want to move anymore. We had dinner at a Korea BBQ Restaurant - Seoul Garden. I went to this restaurant once in Singapore and the impression is good, however the outlet here is just normal to me... they don't serve pork here and the food just seem a little different. I had fun eating and chatting, ate a lot as well hehe...

Back home that night, my mom bought me a jelly birthday cake, it's Garfield with a birthday cake, really really cute! It's so lovely that I refuse to cut the cake and eat it hahaha...


I'm lucky to have my cousin sister and her friend visiting that weekend, so after singing birthday song and stuff, everyone enjoy eating the jelly cake, it's layers of jelly and it's refreshing, not too sweet. I like this cake more than the normal ones, you can't get bored of it lol...

On Sunday morning, which is my birthday, my parents, EdeNz and I went to have Japanese BBQ Buffet Lunch at Daidomon @ Great Eastern Mall. This place is quite new I think, recently saw ads that they are having discount, so we decided to give it a try, my dad's treat, great! XD The food there is good, especially the BBQ squid and scallop. I love the scallop there, it's really big and juicy, too bad they limit each table to only 1 plate, if not I will certainly order more hahaha... The restaurant is quite packed during lunch, but not over crowded, which is a good thing.

As for Monday, EdeNz, Matt and I went to watch District 9 at Mid valley, as posted in this entry... and when we can't decide what to eat for dinner, we went to Pasta Zanmai. EdeNz was against the idea saying that it's a weird combination and all... after the meal, he proven totally wrong, lol. The food there is great, I love it! The best part is the price here is cheaper than Sushi Zanmai and there's no long queues just to eat dinner. =) No pictures for this one, just too busy talking and forgot about taking picture, so maybe next time. =p

I am really happy for the entire weekend, tired but satisfied, ate so much nice food... what else is better than being able to have good food always? =p More food entries coming up!

District 9

Boo!

Another movie update, should be just a short entry, since I'm tired and all after work. Maybe I will update another time this weekend with something better. =p

I went to watch this movie with EdeNz and Matt last week, heard that it was good and I feel like going out instead of staying at home so, why not? XD Tickets are easy to get since it's quite an old movie already...


I know the movie is gonna talk about aliens but I didn't know much, like human calling them "prawns" 'cos they look like one lol... Although the aliens seems to be having such high technology, able to travel in space and all... most of them seems to look stupid or don't even know anything at all? Hmm... The movie was quite boring at first, with all the dialogues trying to move the aliens to a new camp site and all but the later part of the movie is quite interesting when a human mutate into alien due to some mysterious black liquid. Well, the weaponry are cool, I can't imagine prawn-like creatures can actually develop such sophisticated weapons lol...

Then fighting scenes are just okay, I hate how the guy is so scared of everything and keep running away... in the end he did help the alien to get back to their spaceship and go back to their planet but the story just stop there, never mention if the alien is gonna come back for him, to cure his mutation and let him become human again. I hate it when movies end like this! =(

To me, it's kinda tragic that the guy got involved in all this... he's really innocent and I can see that he's really suffered a lot, I can't imagine anyone get go through all those things on their own. He's also really lovely, remembering his family all the time and still trying to keep in touch with his wife after he totally become one of the aliens... That's just touching.

I really really wished that the movie would give a proper ending... perhaps cutting out a little on the front part and add more time for the ending will make this movie much much better. I would give this 6.5/10... It's an okay movie but watching it on DVD or cinema doesn't make much difference.

Mooncakes!

Boo!

I find it really hard to find a good time and mood to update my blog nowadays... the most productive and fun hours are now spent in the office doing nothing or probably just doing some boring tasks... I might start to look for other options if things doesn't change before my patience reaches the limit. =(

2 week ago, I think... EdeNz and I went to hunt for some yummy mooncakes at Jusco... well, I am not the type of person that like the traditional lotus and egg yolk mooncake, obviously, I went to look for something special, something new to try out.

We ended up buying quite a lot too, I suppose... and it's only the beginning, since mooncake festival is still long way to go. XD



I bought 2 mooncakes from Baker's Cottage - Sugarless White Lotus, which is specially for my dad since he couldn't eat sweet stuff... and Mocha Almond for myself, it taste okay for me but nothing very special...



I also wanted to try out one of the Starbucks mooncake, so I went to get their mooncake set which come with Tiramisu and berry cheese flavor. EdeNz took the berry cheese flavor home, he said it was sweet, but I never had a chance to taste it. Tiramisu is okay as well, but not much coffee taste, it's sweet too... not my favorite.

I have still yet to have my shanghai crispy yam mooncake, I love that mooncake the most and it's hard to find... My parents said that the only place that sells them is the Teo Chew Restaurant in Pudu. I will definitely get my hands on those yummy yam mooncakes, not sweet but delicious! and the skin is so crispy as well... *drools*
