Weeee…. we’ve hit the 2 year mark. And decided to just celebrate it  with the theme “Do As You Like”. So what exactly me and Deon did. Hemmm… we just follow the flow and do things that cross our mind.

And so, after we woke up.. the first thing that pops up at Deon’s head is “Fried Rice”. Yup, and particularly the one in Chatterbox. So Chatterbox…. here we go!

2nniversary

Funnily, my dear didn’t order fried rice as what he initially thought of. Instead he ordered Set Lunch A which consist of Cheese Bake Rice with Fish in some spicy sauce, Yin Yong HK Style (cold) and a bowl of soup of the day (RM12.90). As for me, I ordered the HK Fried Rice with Beef (RM10.80) and a HK Ice Coffee (RM3.80).

2nniversary

To date, I think they serve the best Cheese Bake Rice. Yup, much better than Wong Kok Char Chan Teng and Kim Gary. Yum yum! And I love all their fried rice.

2nniversary

We then walk around a bit and decided to head down town to KLCC. Yup! I’ve been DYING to go Kinokuniya, while my dear wants to search for his Victorinox wallet!

Ah, and each time I go Kinokuniya… I sure walk out a broke person. I can’t believe how that have such wide range with such interesting books, in comparison with other bookstore here.

After shopping, we went queue up to get tickets for The Time Traveler’s Wife, which caught my attention back then when I saw the trailers. Since we have extra time before the movie starts, we had our tea break in Chili’s.

2nniversary

We both share a basket full of Chips and Queso (RM14.95). I ordered a Pineapple Juice (RM8.95) too. Yup, that’s my favourite drink each time I go to Chili’s. Deon just  love the Queso. Of course we both think Oscar (Deon’s little cute doggy) would love it too since he loves cheese. We are still figuring what ingrediants they put in to make such yummy queso!

2nniversary

Then it’s movie time! Yeay!!! I’ve been wanting to watch this movie ever since I saw the trailer. Not to mention, with Eric Bana in the movie!

The Time Traveler's Wife (2009)

Rating:
The Time Traveler’s Wife official site: http://www.thetimetravelerswifemovie.com/

Wow, it was such a deep and beautiful story. I mean, to begin with… I think the person who wrote this book is like… I don’t know how to put in words. I guess it’s really amazing that someone actually think of something this interesting. I mean, what the time traveler have to go through in his life.. not knowing where he would end up at. And well, not to mention the stress and loneliness the wife have to go through. I love this. I think it’s amazing!

After movies, we then drop by at the Secret Recipe near my house to have dinner!

2nniversary

I ordered the Tom Yum Noodles (RM13.00) while my dear ordered his old time favourite, Grill Black Pepper Chicken (RM13.50) and we both shared the Appletiser (RM7.80) and the Grapetiser (RM7.80) and followed by a slice of Pecan Butterscotch Cake (RM6.50).

2nniversary

It’s been a while since I had Tom Yum in Secret Recipe, but I still love how generous they are with the mushrooms! I think it would be better if they could add in some Straw Mushroom!

2nniversary

While my dear enjoy his Griller Black Pepper Chicken, I can’t stop eating the cake despite how I keep saying “I’m full” cause I just love butterscotch! Awwww…. buttery taste with crunchy Pecan Nuts! This is such a great closure to the perfect day!

Blooming!   New window
Date: Sunday, 08 Nov 2009 10:43

I know it’s not spring and since there’s no spring at my place, I decided to create my own spring.

Flowers are Blooming!

But I wish I could experience spring… autumn and winter. I love to see flower blooming, red dried leaves and pure white snow.

Little Taiwan

I guess I am easily influenced by TV programmes. I love watching taiwan’s travel and food show. So, I would think taiwan have many good food. Which automatically attracts me to this shop called Little Taiwan in 1 Utama.

Of course I would have to credit the scrolling lightbox as well :D *wink*

In my humble opinion, a good chinese restaurant is one that serves superb dumplings. Yes, so we ordered the most common… Pan Fried Dumpling (RM8.90) and to my disappointment… it taste like frozen food. It doesn’t have meat taste to it and tasted blend.

My dear ordered the Salted Chicken Set Lunch (RM1 3.90) inclusive of Bubble Red Tea. Additional Pearl costs RM1.00. The physical look of the dish is nice and makes our tummy goes goo goo gaa gaa…. but taste wise, it’s really lacking of standards. The salted chicken is not crispy and “not salted”. I seriously didn’t enjoy this dish at all as I have seriously tasted better salted chicken.

I’ve ordered the Taiwanese Beef Meat Ball Set Lunch (RM15.90) inclusive of Bubble Red Tea as well. This dish comes with 2 huge beef meat ball. I seriously don’t know how to explain this… it’s nice and tender… cook to perfection. However, it has this strong “beef taste” which I would think make a lot of other people to not like it.

We add-on the Chicken Meat Ball Soup which cost us only RM2.00 since we ordered the set lunch. I personally think it’s overly priced cause the chicken meat ball tasted like the Ayamas frozen chicken meat ball served in an oily soup.

To be honest, I though the whole lunch was a huge disappointment to me. Probably cause I expected a lot from it’s name, probably they should invest more in taste testing.

Tokyo G

Weeee… I am back to backdated again. Yup, my boyfriend’s birthday was like… roughly a month ago and I actually planned a birthday dinner bash at the actual day but since his parents are leaving to some place else, I postponed my plans a day later. So, we went dinner with my boyfriend’s family at Tokyo G to celebrate.

From what I know, this place was previously owned by Shushi Groove… which I didn’t have the luxury to try before they change name. I’ve always like the renovation cause it looks… er “COOL” from the outside and I can’t help to notice the walls and how green the area is.

So wee…. I finally get try out Tokyo G. I actually have quite high expectation from the outlook of the shop and of course their “modern twist” to conventional food.

Tokyo G

Our dinner starts of with the Chawamushi, which I personally think has strong egg taste however, it seems to be a little overcooked and seriously doesn’t tasteless… in terms of, it’s neither salty or sweet. 

My boyfriend’s brother ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry (RM14.90) which in my opinion tasted pretty standard. It is not exactly the yummiest every Chicken Katsu Curry… but great enough to spark my fire. My boyfriend ordered the Ebi Don Buri (RM15.90). Yup, he is always a ebi tempura lover and most of the time… this is what he ordered. I quite like this dish. It would be like perfect if the egg and sauce is salty instead of sweet. I just love how they put those crunchy bits from the tempura in the rice. It seriously added texture in this dish.

 I ordered the Mayonnaise Dream Roll (RM10.90) to share. I love it. I love how they cleverly cook this. It’s raw salmon in the center wrapped with seaweed and rice at the bottom, topped with sauce… which I would think consist of tousand island, mayonnaise and cheese in it and ebiko on the top. Yummy… saliva dripping!

However, the Deep Fried Gyoza was quite a disappointment to me. The dough seems to be a little thick. And I don’t know… somewhere, somehow the taste and texture of the entire gyoza just didn’t mix along well in the mouth.

Tokyo G

If anyone is looking for THICK slices of sashimi, I guess Tokyo G is the place to go. But becareful of what you wish for… cause thick slices of sashimi can be really gross to swallow. Yup, this is the case when we order the Sashimi Combo (RM29.90). Each slice is really thick. So thick that I myself felt gross chewing… especially the tuna slices. The thickness of the tuna slices was like around 1.3cm each. Grrrr.. scary!

The Ziggy Roll (RM12.90) is one of the dish that I didn’t try out as I was busy chewing the sashimi and no one else except deon’s mum eats sashimi :(

The Godzilla Roll (RM15.90) is lovely as well. Yup, this long roll filled with ebi tempura in the center wrapped with rice, salmon slices and sweet mango! I love how the mango and thousand island compliments the dish.

Deon’s dad loves teriyaki chicken… however, this “modern twist” restaurant does not serve big chunky teriyaki chicken. The only thing that has teriyaki chicken in it was the Teriyaki Chicken Roll (RM8.90). I personally think the chili flakes on the top over power the entire dish.. to the extend that I could hardly taste any chicken taste.

I would say the experience and ambience is great… except the fact that we can’t lean back and apparently, facing the fancy lighted wall can really cause headache and discomfort while eating. I think the staffs were friendly and nice… but the service is seriously slow.

Ah… I was browsing through some magazines and I suddenly thought about this topic, “my ambition”. I used to re-call this used to be a favourite topic my primary school teachers would ask us to write.

Of course, like most of what other kids would write… I initially said I want to be a teacher. Why? Cause, I get to receive gifts and flowers during Teacher’s Day. Haha… yup… back then, that’s what I’m thinking. But of course during the exams… we’ve gotta just write how cool and wonderful it is to being a teacher.

And then, later on… after being influenced by those dramas and series…. I wanted to be an engineer, lawyer or a doctor. Well, I recall holding on to this few ambitions for quite a long while. Of course with the influence of parents and uncles and aunties… this seems to be the best job ever in life. Anyone who falls are engineers, lawyers or doctors were being treated like god. Which in my opinion, many still strongly think so.

And of course finally being a designer. I can seriously say this is a common misconception. People would thought designers/artist are weird or maybe cool. Most people would think life as a designer is glamorous. Like you get to wear funky cloths, wear stylish and weird clothings. I must say, yes… those that are famous… do get away with the bad style but those whom are more low profile would constantly be labeled as weirdo/geek. But to be honest, after being so long in the industry… this isn’t how it works and at least those that I know… mostly do not wear weird/funky looking… most of them looks sleepy/zombiefied (probably due to lack of sleep). So yup, you either be famous or be weird. I am weird by the way

So what exactly is my ambition? My ambition is…. (I still wonder how I pass my primary school essay).

Carl's Jr.Carl's Jr.
Carl's Jr.

Carl’s Jr… mmm, I probably went there somewhere last year… but yeah.. this post is very much inspired by the “She’ll tell you size doesn’t matter. She’s lying” card that my colleague conveniently used as a barrier between our tables and yup as I go through my search list, I noticed I forgot to add this in.

Where to start, hemm… everyone told me the burgers are like giaganticly huge. Many told me it was expensive… some say it was reasonably priced.

If you ask me, to be honest… I think the burgers were only huge. Not as huge as I would imagine it to be (not to mention as I am typing, the burgers probably shrank in size). Expensive… hemmm… I would have to agree that it’s kinda expensive for a fast food chain restaurant.

Okay… in details, I ordered the Double Western Combo which includes a Double Western Burger + Medium French Fries + Medium Coke (RM23.00) while my dear ordered the Chili Burger (RM14.00). For the drinks… weeee… we could refill it as many times as we want, so we actually shared… since I don’t really drink much water and as for the fries, seriously nothing much to hype about.

The Double Western Burger has 2 beef patties in it.. with loads of cheese and bacon. The patties were juicy and ah… not to mention the crispy bacon to top. I just love bacons :) Too bad it’s a non-halal shop… or else I think it would be better if it’s a pork bacon.

As for the Chili Burger,  beef patty.. with loads of special Carl’s Jr. chili sauce and cheese. Yummie…. but I still prefer the Double Western compare to the Chili Burger.

But if you really ask me… seriously, the size doesn’t really matter, but the price does matter. I think the price is expensive. I mean, this tasted not much difference from Burger King.. but it’s almost double the price of it.

So yup, to date… I’ve yet to re-visit Carl’s Jr. cause “If I tell you the price doesn’t matter. I’m lying.”

Blogger vs. Yummer
My dear suddenly made this weird remark… just the other day before he went out and yum cha. And the conversation was like… him, asking me if I want to go out yum cha. And of course I said no… as I was too tired and would just wanna surf and blog a little. He then said…. okay… you are a blogger, I am a yummer.

Hehe.. which caught me thinking… I used to be a yummer… which I have no idea why… I sorta don’t felt like it nowadays. So yes… now we both are in different catergories. So what about you? Which one you actually fall in? Or maybe neither?

More than just ramen
More than just ramen

I must say, it is pretty weird for a person like me who loves Japanese food but doesn’t quite fancy Japanese noodles… for instances ramen or udon or soba. So, Ajisen Ramen is really not my choice of food. But well, since my sister wanted to go… and yeah, why not bring my mum and try some new stuff as well… so yes… here I am in a ramen shop… which to my surprise… sell many other stuffs besides ramen.

Hehe… I ordered most of the non-ramen stuff such as Pan Fried Gyoza (RM7.80) which turn out to be damn good. Well at least in my humble opinion has a crunchy skin yet the meat inside is tender and moist. I also ordered the Pork Cheese Cutlet (RM11.80). This was quite a disappointment dish. Not only does it look way different from what it is being pictured… it was like super dry and I can hardly taste the cheese… probably due to the thick and dry batter. As for the Tuna Sakura (RM5.80)… the tuna is probably one of the thinnest slice I’ve ever came across… and again… fish tasted not moist enough. Probably not fresh enough.

My sister ordered the Renkon (RM4.80) which practically is thin slices of lotus root being fried till golden brown. I must say this is a simple yet delicious dish to start of with. Ooo… I love fried stuff!! She also ordered the Sakae Sakura (RM8.80). Mmm… according to my sister… this is one of the best dish here. To me… it tasted really good cause it has strong sesame oil taste. But I don’t think many can take the strong taste of it.

As for my mum… haha… she ordered the Hot Plate Seafood Ramen (RM13.80). If you ask me… it doesn’t taste much difference from the yellow mee… put on a hot plate… add some boiled seafood topped with bean paste sauce. I mean… seriously… it doesn’t have any seafood taste in the sauce. Personally… ramen still doesn’t makes me go wow!

My sister and mum then decides to order some dessert. Yup.. mum loves ice kacang… so we ordered something similar to suit her taste. We ordered Kakigori Anmitsu (RM8..80) and Macha Sundae Anmitsu (RM11.80) to share. Well.. nothing much could go wrong with something that looks and taste like ice kacang. For the Macha Sundae, yummie… but, peach and red bean… hemmm funny combo~

I love buying Hong Kong magazine… and my all time favourite would be Milk. And I recently stumble upon the Gillian, be TOUGH campaign. Which in my humble opinion… I think it’s a pretty cool campaign. It sorta like killed a few birds with one stone.

Gillian, be TOUGH Gillian, be TOUGH

The creative agency would probably get an award for this… a good comeback for Gillian and probably TOUGH jeans would have everyone talking about it for sometime. Now all eyes are looking on Gillian… and not to mention… these ads were like at front page of all the newspaper and magazines.

The best part… there are so many debating if Gillian deserve a comeback. As for me… it doesn’t really bother me as long as it’s a GOOD and CATCHY campaign … and lovely jeans as well…. okay plus that cute little white top.

People tend to change and evolve. I guess this is the part where we call it.. the growing up process. But it really do makes me wonder… does people really change? Or are they just hiding who they really are deep down inside?

Yoshinoya - Yummy Beef Bowl

Yoshinoya was franchised in to Malaysia quite some time ago. I guess it would have been at least 7-8 years by now. I remember the how long the queue used to be. Then again, I also used to remember the long queue in Big Apple and J&Co last year. Which of course… now.. they all ended up nice and quiet.

Yes… I think, most of the time while dining in Yoshinoya with Deon, it’s just the both of us in the restaurant. But well, who cares if they lost their charm… and everyone moved on to more new food. I still think they serve great Beef Bowl. I’ll always order their Beef Bowl Value Meal (RM8.90), which comes with a soft drink/miso soup. And the best part is, I always leave as a happy and satisfied customer. The beef is so thin and soft… and the amount of fat is just right. Awwww… it just melts in each bite.

My dear, doesn’t really like the “fats” fact so the Spicy Chicken and Salmon Combo Value Meal (RM13.90) is his pick every single time we are at Yoshinoya. I would think their salmon is bad… and you know it’s been frozen for ages. But the Spicy Chicken is cool. It sorta reminds me of KFC Hot and Spicy… but lack of tenderness. A little tender would do this dish a whole lot better.

But you know what, sometimes me and my undecisive decision, and I would ended up ordering Spicy Chicken and Beef Combo Value (RM13.90). Hehe… which in my opinion… is the best of both world. I get both dishes I like.

In case you wonder why I don’t order the dishes with vege, I seriously think they sux at cooking vege. Seriously, I’ve never eaten any… and I seriously mean ANY vege dish as bad as what’s being served in here. Yucks!

What is Fine Dining?
I was watching Hell’s Kitchen yesterday and I suddenly wonder… when will I be able to dine in a fine dining restaurant like that? Yup, one meal would probably take up my entire salary… er… probably 2 months.

Sadly, there aren’t any real guidelines on what fine dining is. I do have my own guidelines of what fine dining is all about, and often I would laugh at many fine dining restaurant wannabes who claim that they serve fine dining just because they have classy ambience. Well, maybe I set too high of an expectation on “fine dining”.

In my opinion… yes… purely and entirely my opinion, a restaurant that qualify as a fine dining restaurant must have all of the below quality:

1. Reservation only
Yes… you are right. If you are that good, that great and that expensive… then why not. To me… it must be by reservation ONLY. No fuss, no waiting. And you know you will have a great personal time, without having the feeling of someone trying to rush you to finish up and leave.

2.Spacious and limited seatings
Right… of course it has to be spacious and thus, it gotta have limited seating. Ideally, you can hardly see any other human except for your partner or friends. Most importantly… they’ve gotta have white table cloth and napkins, perfectly ironed as well. And I mean napkins… not serviettes.

3. Valet parking
Hahaha… definately must have. Come on… good food and nice cars come hand in hand. With all the wine pairing… it’s always better to have some assistance.

4. Top notch service
Yes, it’s gotta be the best of the best service ever. And yes, the servers must be in their SUPER CLEAN uniforms, perfectly ironed and definately no stains. Not to mention,they gotta be highly trained… well at least no fingerprints on the plate. Knowledgeable and able to come out with an inteligent topic in regards to the food being served. And of course, no lesser than 2 servers to directly served the table.

5. 5 course meal ,wine paring and 2 hours of my lifetime experience
Yes… for me… it’s gotta be at least a 5 course meal with wine paring. Good food… wine… both just gotta work hand in hand. The menu is pretty much set. I don’t really have to think what to choose from and definately no combo meals and stuff. Best of all… no rush… everything is just slow and easy. Eat… chit chat… drink… chit chat… and life goes on~

6. State-of-the-art food and talented chef
All the food served gotta look like a masterpiece artwork. Each unique and different. You know you would spend at least 5 minutes of your time admiring the beauty and work. Not only must it look good… it must taste even better. And of course, we must definately thank the talented and professional chef. So yes, I do expect the chef to introduce himself after meal and ask me how’s food.

7. Top class Silverware and Glassware
Woohooo… yes… no stainless steel please. Only Silverware. It’s gotta be shiny and polished. Wine glasses made from crystals… and yes… matching and specially designed cups and plates. Ah… just so posh and classy.

8.Classy ambiance
Chandeliar, dim lights… that’s a must. Better still with some mozart music.

9. Priceless
Wee… as mentioned, I would have to at least spend my 1 month worth of salary in a meal. So yes… every attention to details count.

So, how many restaurant in KL actually falls under this few catergory. Do let me know if you know any fine dining restaurant. As I think I will have to save like 3 years to eat 1 meal. Now… is it all worth it?

My Valentine :)
My Valentine :)

Weee… Valentine’s Day, some people think it’s over rated. Yes, I think it is over rated. I mean… I like the fact that someone who created it gives everyone a chance to couples to celebrate and all… you know.. treat your other half a little better than usual. I know it is not like you can’t do it every other day… and phrases like… if you love someone you can show it every other day. But well… yeah, I hate the fact that it is over rated in the sense that… eating out is particularly expensive (if you are thinking of steak and wine). Not to mention flowers are super duper expensive.  So yes… wee…. me and my dear’s first valentine together was the proper… flower and dining thing. Only we ate thai. Hehe.. come to think of it… most of our special occassions, we celebrate at some thai restaurants :). Can’t help it, thai food is great!

This year, hehe… my baby cook dinner for me. Awwww… it is really sweet of him, considering he is not the cooking type. Hehe… it’s just a simple Spaghetti Cabonara with Campbell Chicken Soup and Sparkling Juice… but it is good enough to make me happy.

Hehe… this year… I got this super duper big pressie. Guess what~ TOYS!!!! My favourite~ Hehehe… and I just couldn’t believe it. My dear got me this Grab-It Machine that I drool and dream of having for the longest time. Hahaha… I mean… yeay, now I can practice grabbing toys at home.

How sweet of my dear to even include in the cute little phone dangglers as toys for me to grab. I think, the next time I shall put in sweets and candies :)

My Valentine :)

Food makes me HAPPY
You know, throughout my life… many people have come up to me and say, you have gain weight. You should go on a diet. Or… you should stop eating so much. Or… Still eat so much meh?

You know what, I like to eat… and food makes me HAPPY :). Yup, it’s true. I felt happy eating food that I like. Well… even when I am not happy… eating will automatically makes me happy. Yeah… for instance…. the sinful chocolates or heavenly brownies topped with ice cream. Gulp~

Food makes me HAPPY

Food makes me HAPPY

3CJ
3CJ

Mmm… Restaurant 3JC, this little restaurant hiding at the corner between the old wing and new wing of One Utama… caught my attention one day cause their name in many ways connects me with CJ7 (the most recent Stephen Chow movie). And yup… no cute little boy playing with it’s alien toy… just noodles… and loads of it.

Hemm… okay… me, deon and his family went and try out this place. We ordered a few different types of noodles and concluded their noodles are actually quite similar. Deon’s mum ordered 3JC in Dark Soya Sauce Handmade Noodles (RM7.90). I had the 3JC in Dark Soya Sauce Kuey Teow Noodles (RM7.20). The noodles comes with minced pork with spring onions and sausages and wooo… a row of 6 pork balls in soup. I personally think the noodles were just okay… but I do credit the amount of meat in each bowl of noodles. It’s definately worth every single cent.

As for Deon and his brother, they both had the 3JC in Curry Soup Handmade Noodles (RM9.50). My dear enjoyed the curry soup, however… there are just way too much stuff that he doesn’t eat… such as the tau fu pok and the sausages… hence he is left with only the pork balls. Hehe… so yup, in return… I ate the curry soup noodles while he ate the dry kuey teow noodles.

As for drinks, we had Cold Herbal Tea (RM2.20), Hot Coffee (RM2.30), Cold Coffee (RM2.80) and Cold Green Tea (RM2.00). Quite standard pricing for most food outlet in shopping malls.

Cheeezy Salami Sandwich

Ingrediants:
Margarine
1 loaf sandwich bread
1 packet Mozarella cheese
6 pieces Chicken Salami
6 pieces Chicken Pepper Sarami

My dear is in the mood to make me a sandwich for supper while we were shopping around Giant Hypermart the other day. I guess that has gotta do with us walking around the meat section too much. So yup, we decided to add more pounds to our weight and started to shop. Deon starts picking up on things that he want to make his “secret recipe” sandwich, the Cheeezy Salami Sandwich. Yup, the name itself makes me look forward to taste it. Hehe…

While my dear is busy making the sandwiches, I manage to take loads of pictures and make him pose for me. Hehe… this is seriously one cheeeeeeeeeeezy Salami Sandwich… with loads of cheeeze oozing out. Thank god the cheese isn’t as salty as I thought it would be. And yes, Chicken Salami rocks!!! *rubs tummy*

Yum yum~ *burp*

Igor (2008)

Rating:

Igor official site: http://www.igor-movie.com/

At first glance, this animation gives me the impression of it being one of Tim Burton’s style of animation. But once you see the trailer over and over again, it’s clearly NOT a Tim Burton movie. Looking at how cute and bubbly the characters were, one would have figured… it isn’t that dark and scary and monstery show. And yup, the smart BRIAN… opss.. i mean brain. And how ironic beauty, life and monsters all can be. Okay… not forgetting the invisible pants.

P/S - My personal experience with this movie is a diasaster. And I finally know why there aren’t much people watching movie in TGV. The entire show, the audio was horrible!

Twilight (2008)

Rating:

Twilight official site: http://www.twilightthemovie.com/

Awwww… a romantic vampire love story. I think in this movie, I practically never see the famous “vampire teeth” at all. I think being a vampire is so cool. One gets to shine like diamonds under the sun, good looks, don’t need to sleep, jumping from trees to trees, run faster than a car and of course the immortal part. But hemmm… this is what happens when a vampire falls in love with a normal human. Of course, there are needs for a baddie in the movie. And this movie makes it so clear that a part 2 will come up, if this one is selling like hot cake. It makes me wonder, a vampire doctor… how does he chooses his next bite?

Madagascar (2008)

Rating:

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa official site: http://www.madagascarmovie.com/

That’s what you get when you put a HUGE hippo, a CONFUSED zebra, a SICK giraffe, a DANCING lion and 4 HIJACKING penguin together. After being lost and trying to make their way back, they actually really make their way back… just this time, they really head back to their home… Africa. Everyone have their fair share of happiness, some found their other half, some met up with their long lost family members and yeay… everyone found more and more of their own kind. Yup… so you wanna move it move it to Africa with them?

Quarantine (2008)

Rating:

Quarantine official site: http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/quarantine/

This is the type of movie which in my opinion falls right at my love and hate movie list. Honestly, if not watching with my group of friends, this movie would be my least to watch show. Firstly, the cast didn’t really make an impact on me. Secondly, it’s a horror show… whereby I know I probably would cover my face or scratch the chair for probably 1/2 the time in the cinema. Yup, that all kinda happen. But well, it isn’t that bad after all. It is a good movie, with lots of suspense… and definately lots of shocking scene.

007: Quantum of Solace (2008)

007: Quantum of Solace official site: http://www.007.com/

Aha… Bond… James Bond. Yes, the same classical line which manage to still capture my attention. Disappointed with the opening scene and the fact that there ain’t much nice cars and gadgets. But thank god, the action did manage to pick up and score the goal. Hehe… I love the continuity of the movie from the previous. Very neat, very tidy. Yes, Bond will be Bond.

GP506: The Guardpost (2008)

GP506: The Guardpost official site: http://www.gp-506.kr/

Korean show always manage to capture my attention. They either have super cute and funny love story show, horror and scary movie that makes you have nightmare or weird shows which makes you wonder how would anyone do this sorta thing show. Which is really cool… cause their show is simply out of the ordinary. The plot, the twist… and the originality itself. My… this is one good show, I wouldn’t be surprised the Americans is going to remake this show and score an award in the coming years.

Mama Mia! (2008)

Rating:

Mama Mia! The Movie official site: http://www.mammamiamovie.com/

Mama Mia… Here I go again. If you are a fan of Abba, you will definately love this show. Of course, not forgetting fans of Meryl Streep or Pierce Brosnan who wishes to see them sing. Haha… I find this movie sorta cool, probably because I grew up to listen to Abba’s and I am definately a fan of Meryl Streep. But beware of Pierce Brosnan singing… he might just make you laugh non-stop.

Bangkok Dangerous (2008)

Rating:

Bangkok Dangerous official site: http://www.bangkokdangerousmovie.net/

Sometimes, you wish someone would just stop at their best. This show proves exactly what I mean.  Upon winning some awards, the Pang brothers decided to remake their winning movie with the same title.. but this time, trying to hit the European market. But I honestly think this movie seriously sux big time. The storyline is in a mess, not to mention Nicholas Cage looks like the uncle next door which suffers from mid-life crisis… and Charlie Yeung… some female lead whereby the show could just take all her scene out and no one would even notice it. I would rather re-watch The Replacement Killer 3 times than watch this… if given the chance to turn back time.

Painted Skin (2008)

Rating:

Painted Skin official site: http://huapi.ent.sina.com.cn/

Mmmm… Donnie Yen did it again~ He is in one of those over-rated shows whereby everyone figure or thought he would do loads of action and fighting. I guess this time he is trying for something new, instead… he plays a more comical role with minimal fight scene. This actually isn’t any action movie, instead it is actually an urban chinese folklore with lotsa lovey dovey in it. Of course the main focus for me would be Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei… both pretty in their own ways. It is an interesting show in it’s own class with nice cinemathography.. but the show somehow ended badly. I hate the sudden change at the ending… which completely makes no sense. Then again… how many movie these days makes any sense?

Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)

Rating:

Harold & Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay official site: http://www.haroldandkumar.com/

According to Deon, this is the second part of the show. This show seriously is disgusting and definately a show one must keep away from children below 18. This sorta movie seriously is not my kinda show as I seriously don’t find any of the content funny at all… instead I am pretty disgusted and I thank god… I miss out the first part. 

Money Not Enough 2 (2008)

Rating:

Money No Enough 2 official site: http://www.moneynoenough2.com/

Who in this world would ever say money is enough. This is actually the second part of the show, riding on the success of the first episode shown in cinema 10 years ago. As usual, making fun of the current Singapore government issues and the basic financial issues every family encounter. I still think the first one is the best… and must I say, this movie is one of those which I would catergorized as 3D overload which kills the movie entirely. Seriously… I seriously think one should just go back to basics. 3D is to help enhance the movie… not overdo it to make the movie look cheap.

The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)

Rating:

The Other Boleyn Girl official site: http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/theotherboleyngirl/

Definately a movie in my 2008 A list. I mean, what could go wrong… all the best people, nice scenery… good cinematography and great storyline. It is a simple movie which would help one to understand more of the England history. And I would say, this show pretty much make male think twice about just trying to get a male heir. Seriously… does it really matter that much?

Chaos (2008)

Rating:

Chaos official site: -

Okay… this is one of those show which I would catergorized as “Hong Konglow budget exprimental” movie. A show whereby all scenes is recorded and done in a studio… with loads of cast one have never seen before. I don’t really know what to say. I didn’t exactly like the treatment. The fact that it has some similarities with Death Race (minus the death races) and ermm… virus outbreak.

Awake (2007)

Rating:

Awake official site: http://www.awakethemovie.com/

Jessica Alba, nothing she does can go wrong. At least that’s what most guys think. But I seriously think this show is a flop. Her acting is bad, the role she picked up is bad. But I gotta credit her to finally picked up a villian character this time. I dunno… maybe I expected something more in this movie instead of lots of talking. It is all very predictable and I am pretty disappointed that this show doesn’t exactly have anything more to it.

Marriage With A Fool (2006)

Rating:

Marriage with a Fool official site: -

This is one of the basic romantic love movie made in Hong Kong. Of course the lead consist of the teen idols and rumoured screen lovers Stephy and Alex. The titles pretty much explains part of the show. Whereby a young couple got married. Guys then got in to a big fight with wife and finds comfort with another girl… whereby, as expected they divorce and both goes seperate ways and both gets on with life with their other half. The typical ending… after twist and turn… they seperate from each other’s partner and got back together. But… what I like about this show is… the question, will everything ever be the same again? Cats will always be cats?? They always loves fishes don’t they?

p for porcupine

The word P actually could make up a lot of word. There are many happy words one could think of for instance presents, play, party, passion. Unfortunately, it also carry many unhappy words with it… such as pain, pride, prejudice, pushy. So, the letter P brings is more of a happy alphabert or an unhappy one?

Good Old Mahjong Days
Ahhh… when I saw Nicole’s post about the good old (err… young) days pictures… it suddenly strike me that it’s really been a while since the four of us gather together. Yup, me, my sis, nicole and also joyce. I remember how the four of us would be so excited and eager to get together. Hehe… why? MAHJONG~

Hehe… now looking at the pictures, we are highly trained since young. Hehe… yeah, ever waiting for our parents to go toilet or tea break so that the four of us could just take over. It’s just so noisy and fun.

Good Old Mahjong Days
Hehe… of course it is still a tradition for us each time we get together. It is just so fun for us but I guess the last time the 4 of us got together and play was back 10 YEARS AGO! OMG! And I seriously do miss the times where we get together. It seriously brings back all the happy moments for us as kids. 

Aren’t we cute kids with cool talents? Okay… probably a little chubby but hey… chubby kids are cute! Hemm… Nicole, when are you coming back and let’s Mahjong!
