A Day of Fun!

Boo!

Busy busy busy! with many stuff... work is one thing, then there's Restaurant City, (fluff) Friends, TV series, anime, games... never had time to blog or maybe no mood to blog (too lazy =p) So anyways, CNY soon! yay! one week holiday for me, awesome! but before that I got to finish off my work by the end of this week, hopefully I can...

Putting that aside, last week I finally did some CNY shopping at Sunway Pyramid, couldn't do that earlier because EdeNz was studying for exam, so no outings. I bought a few stuff and also spent a lot on food, as usual. XD Food first!

We stop by this small shop named Honeymoon, mainly sells desserts and it's full of people! The menu has lots of dessert, hot and cold, so hard to pick one lol... so in the end both EdeNz and I choose one, instead of sharing. XD


I ordered Honeydew Sago, something very ordinary I guess, but I love it! Taste good and not too sweet, it's big though, better to share!


EdeNz ordered something with ice cream, fruits and crystal jelly?? I forgot the name, but it's nice! two scoops of ice cream with mango, kiwi and watermelon at the bottom and lots of rice jelly kind of thing, yummy and filling too!

It took awhile for the order to arrive though, maybe 'cos there are lots of customer? The table beside us order a durian dessert and we could actually smell it from our table, kinda bad because I don't like it. =\

So, after continue shopping till 8pm I guess, it's dinner time and EdeNz insist on having Japanese food and because I don't want to queue up, we ended up in Zen, expensive stuff! which means food camwhore time! =p


We order lots of stuff... so let's see...

Sashimi to start off... yummy, rich in taste, no complains.

They have something like wintery menu, and there's this baked oyster, so I ordered one. I love it but EdeNz don't like the taste that much lol...

Follow up with soft shell crab maki, it's huge! Can't eat in one bite...

Hotate mentaiyaki, my favorite!

Cold Wheat Noodle, couldn't recall the Japanese name, but this is better than soba!

Last but not least, Wagyu tataki! Yummy beef!

Overall, the meal is satisfying and the bill is also very "lovely", haha... Oh well, guess I won't be doing much shopping or eating next month or two... =\ But I had fun, it's been awhile since we went out and enjoy ourselves like this...

For now, maybe some sleep and continue to work hard! and look forward to CNY holidays! next up will be my shopping stuff. =)

Surrogates

Anyone wants to play Heroes of Newerth but do not have a beta key? Leave a comment with your e-mail and I will send you an invite. =)

Boo!

Although it's a bit late, but here's a short review for Surrogates which I watched so long ago lol...


Personally, I have been waiting for this movie so long, ever since I saw the preview months back, i thought that this is so cool. It is indeed very nice after I watched the movie... You get to do anything you want, look however you want and do stuff you never meant to be able to... just by laying down in a chair at home... that's totally awesome! XD

Well, there's a bad side to it as well... nothing is 100% good only, like in the movie... a hot lady turns out to be a fat guy, gosh... so disgusting! Anyway, the movie is not only about those stuff... a fight between supporting surrogates and anti-surrogates, that's typical... Humans always love to fight, for various reasons.

At the end of the show, somehow all surrogates got destroyed and everyone is back to square one... which is what the main character thinks it's best for everyone to start walking out of their room and go see what is happening in the world for real.

It's quite a good movie, but storyline is predictable... The movie is only 1 and half hours, a bit too short I guess? I enjoyed it as I think it's totally cool and I would love to try experience this myself lol...

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

^StarrY^

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*

If you are interested to join the community, let me know by replying this post with your e-mail address and I will send you an invite.

Boo!

EdeNz, Matt and I watched this movie last week, I was just too lazy or busy to update until now... =p Many things changed this week, gotta make myself comfortable with the new work environment and change my daily routine to fit everything, not easy but still manageable... My weekend came and go so fast, hardly enough time for anything... Oh well.


Back to the topic, G. I. Joe is a movie everyone is waiting for, since the trailer was released, interesting fight scenes and technology I would say. The movie is great, as expected, there's so many fighting scenes, I especially love the ninjas fighting, it's kinda cool. XD The weapons and advanced technology is amazing as well, the armor suit and the plane and the weapons... good job on that. Story-wise, it's kinda predictable, don't see much surprise elements in the movie, I love how comedy is also added into the movie, the whole cinema is full of laughter.

I would say it's a movie worth watching, I enjoyed it and it seems there will be a second movie coming up. I am looking forward to it, hope we don't have to wait too long and it will be another good movie. =)

The Taking of Pelham 123

Boo!

Doesn't feel like blogging at all... so lazy this week, maybe 'cos I have been staying at home for the entire week? *sigh* Where's all the excitement and interesting stuff?

Going back to the topic, EdeNz and I watched this movie 2 weeks ago, I think. =p Well, the movie was okay for me... the story is pretty interesting as well, about train hijacking.


Well, the whole story talks about how a bunch of people hijack a train and demands for 10 million dollars but the real deal is to earn lots more money from the stock market with the whole hijacking incident, a pretty interesting idea. A smart guy ended up being a criminal and die in the end because of money, is that worth it? That, I don't think so...

It's not so much of an action movie, not much comedy elements as well, but it's still a nice movie because of the story, so you decide whether it's your cup of tea.

Next movie to look forward to will be G. I. Joe, another action-packed and futuristic movie... gonna watch definitely because Emus' review is looking good. =)

Bar B. Q. @ Sunway Pyramid

Boo!

Wonderful weekend! and I just got a new haircut, it's cute! Check out my facebook photo albums if you wanna see my new hair. XD Here goes another yummy entry, BBQ Restaurant!

Bar B. Q. Restaurant is a restaurant with a green dinosaur as their mascot, the shop has been at Sunway Pyramid for a while and it's BBQ, so it's fun and yummy at the same time hehe... EdeNz wanted to try so here we go...


Our table with all the stuff, ready to cook!


We ordered the Supreme Set for 2 person, which has so many kind of meat, beef, mutton, chicken, prawn, squid, some fish balls stuff and lots of vege!


and also an extra side dish, Thai-style Pandan Chicken! XD


not to forget, drinks! green tea is bottomless. =p

Let's start cooking shall we?



The BBQ plate in this restaurant is unique, soup can be poured around the plate for vege and fishballs, while the middle is used for grilling the meat.


We also ordered 2 garlic rice, which I though it's part of the set, but found out later it was optional... it was good though, hehe...


The restaurant has many customers, full house most of the time, surprisingly... I thought not much people would like it... Anyway, it's so yummy and fun to eat, I might go back there again when I feel like eating BBQ meat, hehehe...

Senjyu Sushi @ Sunway Pyramid

Boo!

Not having fun with the stupid headache since Sunday night... didn't go work today, ended up in bed for almost 16 hours? *sigh* I hate being sick!

It has been some time since yummy food shows up on my blog, so here it is, time for some delicious sushi! =p On the same day I bought my phone and watch Transformers, EdeNz and I went to Senjyu Sushi for lunch, because I got 2 RM5 vouchers from AD&D 2009...

We weren't that hungry and my wallet isn't very generous so we just ordered 4 dishes... All of them were nice, but I still think Sushi Zanmai is better, for the price I pay I expected something more and not just ordinary. I totally miss Genki Sushi which was here before Senjyu Sushi, at least it's not so expensive and the food back then is equally good.

Here goes, first thing... Ikura Cawanmushi.


There isn't so much Ikura on top as the one at Sushi Zanmai and I think the egg taste could be richer, so this dish is just normal...

Next, we ordered Sashimi, I just feel like eating some.


The fish are fresh and great, nothing spectacular though.

Then we have Tempura Soba...


The tempura is very crispy and the soba is good as well, though I still like Cha Soba more. XD

We also ordered this trio salmon sushi, juicy and rich in flavor.


It would be better if it was Ikura on top, yummy!

The options are quite limited, as there were more sushi than the normal dishes, which I find the sushi are common, not willing to pay so much for a sushi I can also get from Jusco. I don't think I will visit again, there's much better choice out there... like Sushi Zanmai, my favorite! =)

^StarrY^

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Boo!

I finally watched it with EdeNz last Sunday at Sunway Pyramid, it's a last minute thing but I manage to get tickets because I chose couple seats aahaha... as usual, the cinema is full, even the front row, is it just so nice to keep watching over and over again or there are just so many people who want to watch the show? lol...


The show is quite nice, but I still prefer the first one. Somehow I feel this movie has less focus, simply too many robots to show... Even the Fallen himself only fight for few minutes before he dies? Hmm... being the big boss of the bad guys, I would expect more actions and show offs but he only came out to get thrashed by Optimus lol... Well, lots of new robots and I think the coolest would be Jetfire... The twins are funny though... XD Others are just like side characters, even the old ones... there's not much story about them.

Story-wise is just okay, nothing special about it and I can see a third movie coming since Megatron and Starsream got away, but what will they be fighting for the next time? Using the Pyramids are quite a good idea I think, since there's always a belief that says there are built by aliens from outer space... XD and I guess Megan Fox plays a big role to attract people to watch this show, haha...

Well, I won't pay another RM12 to watch it in the cinema again, it simply didn't give me the amazing feel after I watched the show, but I don't mind watching the fighting scenes again if EdeNz is going to download the show for me. =p

What's next on the screen?

^StarrY^

The Sims 3

Boo!

It's Monday again and I'm tired, sleepy actually... I can never get enough of sleep, it seems. Afraid not, this won't be another movie entry, no more movies until Transformers I'd say... which is next week, right? =p Hahaha... Anyway, my weekends are all spent on this - The Sims 3!

Sims 3!

It's a game by EA, in case you wonder what the heck is that thing. =p Well well, I fell in love with Sims even since I played Sims 2, it's just so much fun, like my dream world... I love designing and decorate houses, love dressing up my sim with all kinds of nice clothes, hair and accessories... you can do whatever you want, become whoever you want to be as a sim, so much fun! I would never get tired of it.

With the new introduction of The Sims 3 just a week ago, I am so excited and can't wait to get my hands on the game. Luckily EdeNz managed to download the game for me and installed in my computer on Friday night, ever since then... it's all about Sims 3 only. XD First thing I noticed, game loading time is faster than Sims 2, which is so good, I hate waiting... Then the graphics are absolutely more wonderful, more realistic and smoother. The town is well decorated and it looks so peaceful yet so exciting, waiting to be explored. =p

Basic game play is still the same but with lots of enhancements here and there... like to create a new sim, the interface is much better now, we can even define our own color and style... it's called Styling in the game and it doesn't only apply to the sim itself but basically everything in the game, from human to furniture and house design... You can choose any patterns you love and recolor them however you like, thousands of styles can come out from the same piece of furniture, amazing right?

First Floor, used to be much smaller...

Second Floor, newly created from scratch...

I spend like hours just to decorate my house. It's just one floor at first, then I decide to extend a level up, making another floor with a huge balcony for fun times. =) I really love the process of building, designing and decorating, making sure everything looks nice in the end, most fun when you can buy anything you like, no worries about money at all, hahaha...

Performing with guitar for tips, good way to earn money. =p

Fishing, get fish for your cooking ingredients and build up your skill.

Skill-wise, there are more types of skills to learn now, like guitar and painting is two different skills, there's also gardening and fishing which I find it very interesting, yet to explore the skills and learning process to the fullest... Writing is also interesting, there's so many type of novels you can write and you earn great bucks from writing too! Other than special skills, the normal cooking, mechanical and charisma skills are there too, but with more things to do, more interactions to build up your skills, pretty good.

The Central Park, you can read a book, play chess, picnic, BBQ... do whatever you like!

One of the best feature of Sims 3 is no more millions of loading screen to move around, the map view is simply awesome... You can go anywhere you want in the town with just a click, no more waiting for few minutes just to load a building, fun times! There's so many exciting places to go like the Art Gallery, Theatre, Grocery Store, City Hall, Science Center, Graveyard, Park, etc... You can also go visit neighbor's house with your car, so easy!

Lots and lots more to talk about, there's so much things I have yet to discover like babies and stuff... I will soon, I'm sure it's gonna be fun and I definitely hope to see more stuff either from expansion or just simple mods from wonderful people... I'm sooo addicted to the game, can't stop thinking about it, can't stop playing when I reach home. =)

Anime List Updated!

Boo!

Updated my anime list a while ago, yay! This time added 2 new anime to the list that I am currently watching, Valkyria Chronicles and Shugo Chara. I can still watch more, so tell me if there's any other nice anime around! =p

Valkyria Chronicles is an anime based on a game, I believe... The story is interesting, wars between countries in a olden Western setting, kinda special to me... the clothes, weapons, buildings and stuff. The story has a kind person leading a team of militia to fight, yea normally good guys don't fight... and he has created miracles after miracles with his team, very interesting to see him fighting using some special strategy.

Shugo Chara is a really cute anime on the other hand... Matt recommended it to me and passed me all the episodes as well, hehe... It's about kids having their own guardian character, which is also their would-be self... something they want to be. The kids then fight against the Easter cooperation to stop them from getting the "Embryo", which is an egg that grants any wishes... You will see characters transformation in the anime and some cheesy scenes, according to EdeNz, haha... can always skip those parts... overall the story is still very interesting. I read the manga as well, and it's getting excited! I believe there's a second part to the anime and I will definitely watch it when I get them from Matt. =)

Recently I re-watched Cooking Master Boy and Yakitate! Japan... both are funny cooking anime, which really makes me hungry seeing all the yummy food and bread... haha, still some nice anime to watch and laugh despite watching them for a few times already... Nowadays, good comedy anime is just too hard to find, the producers have no sense of humour anymore? lol...

^StarrY^

Terminator Salvation

Boo!

It's been a while since last update, yea... kinda lazy to write nowadays, wonder why the mood is just not there. =( Anyway, this is another movie post, boring huh? Well... nowadays I go to cinemas every week just because there are nice movies coming out every week, so that's why... lol. *plus I'm too lazy to think so much* =p


Hmm, I know there's already 3 movies on Terminator, I didn't watch every one of them, just the third one I think, it's so long ago... I don't really remember anything anymore except for SkyNet fighting with human, and a guy named John Connor. Somehow I think that's all I need to know because the whole show is basically only that? Hahahaha...

Okay, if you ask me, the show is just okay... why? Cos if the last movie is what I remembered, this movie is exactly the same as well! Then what's new in the movie? a half human half robot? oh well... and all the fighting with robots is just so fake somehow? I don't really like the graphics made for this movie, the robots are too ugly for some reason... The worst thing is that the end of the movie isn't the end of the war yet, again! Since they bring the whole SkyNet down already, what else is there to fight? *sigh* Hopefully people will stop making this movie again in 5 or 10 years time, else the story is gonna be the same again, human vs. robots.

I don't fancy this movie very much, but I know lots of guys love it, I have no idea why, the story isn't that good and if a movie's story isn't good there's not much point watching right?

^StarrY^

Night at the Museum 2

Boo!

I'm so sleepy today... probably due to lack of sleep last night because I was playing Age of Empires with EdeNz, should sleep earlier tonight... =( It seems that Mondays are always gloomy...

Anyway, it was really a hooooot weekend, even though I stayed home on Saturday, sitting in front of the computer playing games... I still sweat a lot, such unbearable weather... *sigh* I was planning to go out and watch Night at the Museum 2 but I couldn't get any tickets for Saturday. In the end, Matt, EdeNz and me went to Mid Valley yesterday night for the show...

Night at the Museum 2!

The show is really good, love it very very much... Matt thinks it's better than the first one. =) The movie this time has more characters involved and it's packed with action and comedy elements. The story takes place in the national archive this time, due to a new renovation of the natural museum... all the displays are being shifted there for storage...

and because of the tablet, the other stuff in that national museum came to live as well... An Egyptian king named Kahmunrah tries to summon some birdman to help him conquer the world... and then noticed that the code on the tablet was changed, in the end, Larry figured the code out with the help of a miniature Einstein group. Well, after some battle and fights, which is funny... everything is settled and the displays are back to the natural museum once again! This time, the museum opens till late night, allowing people to actually see everyone alive, cool huh? XD

The story is nice and the comedy element is all over the show, it's worth to watch this in the cinema, I bet the whole cinema is filled with laughter every time this show is on the screen. =p Next movie to look forward to... Terminator salvation? Transformers?

^StarrY^

Angels & Demons

Boo!

Finally it's Friday, it's a good thing I guess... But I still hope this few hours can pass by faster so that I can enjoy my weekend at home or somewhere else fun. =p


So, EdeNz and I watched this movie, Angels and Demons, during our trip to Genting... and it's quite a nice movie based on the book which is written by the same author of The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown. This author does like to talk about Christianity huh... Well, as a sequel to the movie Da Vinci Code, I believe many have said that this movie is much better and I think so too... though I can barely remember the previous movie content, I believe the story is more exciting this time and there's more action involved...

The story is basically about a priest who tried to make himself a hero and get to be elected as the next Pope, after the current one is dead... He revives a secret organization, Illuminati, which is opposing the Catholic Church and then kidnapped 4 favorite candidates for the next Pope... A professor that is studying those Illuminati codes were called in to help, together with a scientist, both of them tries to stop a bomb from exploding in the Vatican city and tries to save the 4 candidates before they were killed.

Well, the story ends well when the priest's plan is revealed by the professor to the church people, then the professor managed to save one of the candidates for the next Pope from dying... I get to learn more stuff about Christianity here, like the process of Pope's election, which I don't really know about... it's interesting to learn stuff about religions but it's sad to see how people use religion as a weapon or power... This show also portrays a point - religion vs. science... I think they can co-exist and I believe they should, we have brains and we can think, make use of it to advance and improve our lifestyle is definitely a good thing.

Hmm, I am sure there are tons of opinions on things like religions and stuff, I am open to hear all of them, it's best to hear what people have to say but it's annoying when someone tries to push their opinion on you and makes you think the same... don't you think so?

^StarrY^

Anime...

Erm, I have just added XChange thingy from Nuffnang, you will notice a flower on your right bottom screen, cute? or annoying? Well, press the minimize button if you don't like it... I just want to put it there and see... Haha...

Boo!

I have just updated my anime list a while ago, just added 5 new series that I am currently watching... so little right? and some are just okay... There isn't that much nice anime to watch this season. =(

Click this button below my banner to view my anime list...

Anyway, the 5 new animes that I am watching are:

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

Any anime fan would watch this, simply because the previous FMA is soooo nice, you have got no reason not to watch this one. The remake is going to follow what is drawn in the manga so expect to see a different story than the previous one. I have watched 6 episodes so far, and it's good. Drawings are a bit different and story so far are still the same since it's the beginning but some parts are explained in detail and some parts are being cut down... Anyway, the exciting part has yet to come, a must watch anime this season! =)

K-On!

A recommendation by Matt, it's a school-themed anime, so there's cute girls lol... Well, the story revolves around the light music club, very funny and cute anime. It's something like lucky star, so if you like lucky star, you might like this too. Matt said that people went crazy about this anime and bought the guitar owned by the main character, Yui. Funny anime is always welcomed, good for relaxing your mind. =p

07-Ghost

A boys anime, yes... with a lot of handsome guys! Haha... the story is about war and army, the story is still very unclear even though I have watched 5 episodes... I think that the anime is a bit draggy, I wished they can move faster and cut down on all the crap, and stop repeating the same scenes over again. I will continue to watch this until I think it's too bored... maybe things will be better soon?

Tears to Tiara

Hmm, I think this anime was based on a game, not too sure but the story settings indeed is the game world where swordsman, demons and elves exist... Only watched 4 episodes so far, the drawings are not bad but the story is just normal so far, got to watch more to judge, hopefully it's a good one.

Hatsukoi Limited

Just downloaded this anime few days ago, Matt's recommendation too. Another comedy was is really good! The drawings is okay, I think the middle school girls are a bit too staright and flat? Haha... anyway, it's really really funny, just like School Rumble, but for me, even better. I have only watched 2 episodes so far, will try to catch up when I have time. XD

Any other nice anime to recommend? Feel free to suggest, since I can download more anime with my new HDD! Hahaha...
