This and That..

Been looking at some photos taken sometime back. Here are some pics of Rakuzen. The food was to die for.

Realised i didn't take any photos before eating

Damn nice

Last week, i went for a friend's birthday celebration and tried Shisha for the very first time. Was pretty cool. First time maaa..

Watched 'Click' also...it's as nice as people say it is. Serious and funny at times. Went to watch 'Dragon Tiger Gate', was ok..full of action. And no, the third guy's name is not 'Gate'. But i still don't get why they want to cover their eyes with their fringe. Not irritating meh?

I'm currently reading a book by Jodi Picoult, 'My Sister's Keeper'. Got me hooked from the first page. Got to finish it by this weekend. Anymore books to borrow me, Yin?

Going back home tomorrow..Wheeeee...

Bangkok!

Yup, at last im spending time to blog about my trip to Bangkok. It's only been....1..2.... 3 weeks!

We boarded the evening plane there, got the free Air Asia tickets quite sometime ago. Reached there around 8pm Thai time.

On the plane ride

Upon reaching, we left our bags at the Hotel and headed out into the Thai night. First stop, dinner!

Yen Ta Fu! It's pink!....But it's pink!!

I didn't eat that, i ate some Pork Ball noodle. Nice, for only 40Baht. All Thai food came in smaller portions, less oily and delicious! No wonder all the people there were slim. You would have thought we would have called it a night. But NooooOOoo...we started what we came to Bangkok for...well, maybe what i went to Bangkok for. Suan Lum! As you can see from the pic there's a big ass Ferris Wheel in the background. Went for a ride in it, costs 100Baht per person for about 5 spins. They had the famous Beer Garden here. The pic i took was too blur.

Suan Lum Night Bazaar

Next day, went for our half day tour. Went on a boat ride along Chao Phraya.

On the way there

Boat ride

Along the river bank we saw lots of...buildings

After that we went to feed some fishies....Whenever we fed them with bread, they would snatch for it, making big splashes and showering us.

Here fishy fishy...

We stop at one of the temples along the riverbank.



Saw a huge toad along the way..


After the half day boat tour, some of us went shopping till evening and then it was dinner at a local Thai restaurant. The next day was a Saturday, so Chatuchak it is!

Along the way, we stopped for coffee, twice. The coffee sold here are cheap, around 40Baht and almost as good as the overpriced coffee sold in M'sia.

I need my coffee wherever i go

Chatuchak is a very very big scale weekend market that sells everything under the sun.

So cute!!

How to resist??? I wanna, i wanna!!

Selling like hotcakes!

Bought loads of clothing from there. So cheap! If only we had things like this here.

Next, we went back to the hotel for some R&R


Next day, it was back to M'sia. Woke up very early to catch our flight.

Hotel lobby at 4am

That's all for my post on Bangkok. The stay was enjoyable, the people were very polite and the food....delicious! (Bacon every morning for breakfast!!) I would definitely go again given the chance.

Lanun-lanun Pulau Caribbean: Harta Lelaki Mati

No kidding, it really was 'Harta Lelaki Mati'. Went to watch it last Friday, manage to get the tickets by purchasing online. It's the most awaited movie of the year.....after Da Vinci Code. Before watching the movie, i read the reviews...some good some bad. Many said the ending was bad, but it made me look forward to the next and last movie. Chow Yun-Fat will be in the third installment as well.

*Spoilers ahead!*

This movie is the continuation of the first one. Started by showing how Will and Elizabeth's wedding was ruined when they were arrested for helping Jack Sparrow escape. To free themselves, Will had to get Jack's compass. So this ensues a wild goose chase, ending up with Will, Elizabeth and Jack running from Davy Jones' and his crew. And of course there's the Kracken ....Cracken ....Huge ass Octopus!

And they threw in a kissing scene between Elizabeth and Jack, and a hint of jealousy from Will (of course he didn't find out the real reason why Elizabeth did that). But the directors didn't dwell into the matter....hmm..

Anyways, can't wait for the next movie, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, expected to be out on the 25th of May nex year. Loads of pirates including Davy Jones, Cutler Beckett, Barbossa and Sao Feng (this is where Chow Yun-Fat comes in).

Wondering whether there will be a continuation for Superman Returns, seeing how it ended. They can't just leave us hanging after seeing that he has a son who's powers are developing. Brendan Routh sure looks...plastic-ky when he stays still...like a mannequin.

Speaking of superheroes, that's my company's theme for the midyear company dinner. Hmm...wonder who'll dress up!

Ok, i got way too much time....

You Are 23 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

I must be getting old....

Happy Birthday!

Quote of the day: Porcupine Children: [driving a van] It's just like Auto Homicide 3!

It’s me blog’s b’day!! Yup, exactly a year ago I started this blog. Actually wanted to start blogging earlier but nvr got around to it till a year ago. Wait....i started using Friendster blog....oh well.

Let’s see…after X-Men 3, I got around to watch ‘Over the Hedge’. It was hilarious. Especially Hammy!! Funny to see him getting high after having coffee. So far the best cartoon this year. Haven’t watch ‘Cars’ yet though. Too many movies/shows to watch too little time. Got loads of animes pilled up waiting for me to watch too.

Helped me friend to move a few weekends back. First we walked around Ikea looking for a nice bed for her. Was looking for a 4-Poster Bed. Goodness! Ended up buying some scented candles with nice holders (for her) and currypuffs (for me). Seriously, the currypuffs there are nice. After that was off to her aunt’s house at an expensive gated community to move some of her stuff (tv, dvd player, ps2) to her new apartment. After moving her stuff it was off to buy some pillows (don’t ask me why we didn’t buy it in Ikea in the first place). And once all these were done, I went back home with my currypuffs. Yup, they were in the car the whole day. But still edible. :D

Last week, I finally got to tried out Dragon-i. Well, it’s really nothing to write home about. Nothing exceptionally delicious, just average to me. Tried their spicy beef noodles, fried eel coated with honey and of course their ‘Xiao Long Bao’. Was sort of a pre-b’day dinner. Got a new purse/wallet. :D

A lil' oily though

For me b’day, went to have drinks. Got a b’day mug! In case you’re wondering, I didn’t finish the whole drink (already feeling bloated from dinner and a beer before that). It was shared. Was feeling bloated after that, but managed to drink another half mug of beer. Face was flushed red/purple but somehow was still able to stay up to watch the opening match of the World Cup. Yup, proud to say that WC opened on my b’day. (but on the downside, people would remember the WC more. Hmph!!).

I'll be uploading pictures of me Goleo (McD's lion) next. Watch this space!

X-Men Review

I watched the X-Men 3 premier last nite at GSC Midvalley. Thanks to tailo for the tickets. The place was packed with people, I think there were 2 screenings of X-Men going on last nite. For those who have not watch take note to stay till the credits finish rolling out. I know it may take sometime, but I guess it’s worth it. Only 4 of us remained to watch it, everyone else emptied out the cinema damn fast.

In this movie, Magneto and his army were trying to destroy a hospital that invented a medicine to transform mutants back to normal people. And the X-Men of course were trying to stop him.

Warning: Spoilers ahead. You have been warned.

What I always look forward to when watching X-Men movies is the introduction of new characters. In this new movie, we see a lot of new faces (some from the comic, some created for this movie). In the movie posters for X-Men, the character ‘Angel’ can be seen clearly. You would have thought he would play an important role in the movie, but turns out otherwise. He just says a few line and flaps flies around the rest of the time. And the part when he was young and trying to cut off his wings…damn geli!!

Warning: More spoilers ahead, read at your own risk!!

I think the highly anticipated character (for some people) has to be Phoenix. (She sort of died last episode and was supposed to transform into Phoenix). She’s the most powerful mutant of all (Class 5). I was expecting loads of fire….but sadly only shown one same move throughout the movie, but damn powerful (and horny!). She did kill loads of people (Scott and Professor Xavier among them) and had to be killed in the end as well. (Scott’s no big loss is he? Hehe..).

Throughout the movie, a lot of mutants were jabbed with the medicine to turn them back into normal humans (some while fighting and some voluntarily). One of the victims was Magneto…shocking to think about him without his powers.

All in all, the movie was nice…just don’t expect it to be the same as the cartoon/comic and you will like it. I’m looking forward to the 4^th movie, as it seems like there will be a fourth. As I said, stay till the credits have finish rolling!
