Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace in 3D

noreply@blogger.com (Baboon Tan) — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 03:34:00 +0000

Date: 3 February 2012
Time: 10am
Venue: TGV Sunway Pyramid

Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace had been released since 1999, I remembered watching this at TGV Sunway Pyramid and I get a figurine bottle after purchasing a pop corn.

and now 2012, it is confirmed with the re-release at 9 February 2012 with 3D

PLAYER
Cast: Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman
Director: George Lucas
Genres: Action/Adventure, Sci-Fi/Fantasy

PLOT (from Fandango)
Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) is a young apprentice Jedi knight under the tutelage of Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) ; Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd), who will later father Luke Skywalker and become known as Darth Vader, is just a nine-year-old boy. When the Trade Federation cuts off all routes to the planet Naboo, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are assigned to settle the matter.

PERSONAL COMMENT
Back then when I'm still young, watching Star War really attracts me, main reason being the jedi knight holding the light saber really attracts me, it's like the real hero!

Main focuses on 3D, the blue and red light saber stuns out during the fight,

The pod race by Anakin Skywalker

The jet fighter shooting out laser and the underwater creatures. I feel like the remake in 3D is nothing much however the few scenes I describe above, you got to be more attentive to check out the 3D effects.

I also found out that the whole purpose is to attract small kids or even teenagers like us to really step into the cinema and find out how we used to attract to the fantasy of Star Wars directed by George Lucas. Small kids now would be attracted to Jajarbinks and the robots. You would have realized how Star War became our kids favorite.

In addition, I don't think our memory is really that good to remember all the plots of Star Wars, so in case you forget like me, you can still re-watch it and enjoy in 3D!

PERSONAL RATING
Overall 3D: 6.5/10

Cafe Barbera (Sunway Pyramid) review

noreply@blogger.com (Baboon Tan) — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 07:20:00 +0000

A newly opened Cafe at Sunway Pyramid. Cafe Barbera located at the opposite of Kim Gary.

I wouldn't mind enjoying a cup of coffee here again after the review. Look out for the review below.

First of all, the environment. You definitely want a good environment to chill.

Indoor area (non smoking)

I will definitely choose here, more chilling!

It can accommodate up to a group of 10pax.

spot the large table in the middle

Outdoor area (smoking) is slightly hot, even it's with fan on.

Start with DRINKS

Napoli (RM12)

love the heavy coffee taste

Double Toasted Latte (RM11)

it's too creamy for me, would prefer a stronger coffee taste drink.

Cappuccino Shakerato (RM11)

This would be the best seller among all! Wouldn't mind to drink 2 glass of it.

Roma (RM12)

Didn't really like the taste, it's kinda bitter sweet.

Cappuccino Fredo

Espresso Shakerato (RM10)
would prefer this, more caffeine!

my favorite

Affogato (RM11)

love how the hot and cold mixes well, *slurp and finish it in 10sec*

Cafe Barbera Coffee

Didn't have those ice blended drinks like Starbucks, but the coffees like Cappuccino Shakerato, Napoli and Affogato you must really try it.

Coffees are always best accompany with pastries,

Multigrain Croissant (RM8)

Butter Croissant (RM7)

Why not try to drink a sip of coffee and eat the crunchy croissant. I hand teared the croissant and it was really so crunchy that I wouldn't want to wait another minute to eat it.

Next,

Smoked Salmon Bruschetta RM19.00

Sliced of smoked salmon with olive oil, capers, dill and rocket salad served on toast

*salmon was fresh best served with crunchy toast*

Spinach and Cheese Spring Roll RM14.00

Rolled spinach with emmental cheese

Rolled Smoked Duck Salad RM20.00

Rolled smoked duck with mixed mesclun tossed with cherry tomato, coffee dressing and orange citrus.

*Highly recommended*

at first I didn't know what meat is that, until someone told me.

I love the taste of duck, is like something so special that I never tasted it before

and it's so tender and overall it's kinda juicy when mixed with the dressing.

PIZZAS

Pizza in the making

Pesto, Cheese and Mushroom Pizza RM26.00

Topped with tomato sauce, pesto with mushroom, onion, black olive,

garlic oil, parmesan and mozzarella cheese.

Hawaiian Chicken Pizza RM26.00

Tomato sauce, chicken meat, onion, peppers, chunky pineapple and mozzarella cheese

The pizza is in Personal size. It's kinda normal like most of the pizza out there.

PASTAS

Beef Carbonara RM26.00

Fettuccine with sliced mushroom, beef and egg yolk in cream sauce

Salmon Aglio Olio RM29.00

Pan fried salmon fillet topped with homemade caper sauce on bed of spaghetti aglio olio

Prawn Aglio Olio RM29.00

Spaghetti cooked with prawns, olive oil, garlic, chillis, fresh basil and sundried tomato.

Chicken Lasagna RM25.00

Layers of pasta, béchamel, cheese, spinach and minced chicken; baked in oven

Try the Salmon Aglio Olio and Prawn Aglio Olio, but it's a little spicy, good for spicy lover like me.

Chicken Lasagna is a little dry, maybe cause of the cheese.

MAINS

Braised Lamb Shank RM39.00

Braised lamb shank with vegetables, served with fettuccine and grapes.

*lamb meat is tender, not really strong gamey smell after trying it.

I really get turn off if it is too gamey*

Grilled Tenderloin RM49.00

Served with sautéed baby potatoes, vegetables and green peppercorn sauce.

it's more like medium well when served but I can still accept it.

Stuffed Chicken Parcel RM33.00.

Stuffed chicken thigh with spinach, carrot, capsicum, turkey ham and mozzarella cheese,

served with mashed potato and mushroom sauce

DESSERTS

Chocolate Fondant RM14.00

Molten chocolate pudding served with vanilla ice-cream

*Highly recommended*

*rich with chocolate taste pudding and the vanilla really enhance the taste*

My 2011 birthday!

noreply@blogger.com (Baboon Tan) — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 01:20:00 +0000

Previously my birthday 20-10-2010 was a great one with my friends! (P/S: Look at the date, so amazing!)
This year is even better because I had a surprised from my B! :)

20-10-2011
Morning reached her house and she was busy... preparing breakfast with her brother.

Lovely breakfast

(First breakfast from her)

After prepare everything, when we are about to go out.

She brought out her handmade fruit tartlets

*ahhh! Didn't know that you do tartlets for me!
I thought you buy cake for me! *

Really taste good with the chocolate fillings.

Later on, we depart to 1utama for movie. Real Steel.

I asked her where are we gonna eat for dinner, she answered Kota Damansara.

HAHAHA! that's the time I know where we gonna eat for dinner. No more surprise haha!

*Next time I don't ask anything k?*

We reached GSC.

At first I thought she bought the ticket and we lined up at the Collection Counter, but later on she just pull me into the Gold Class. (Wow! You finally surprised me! I were shocked lol.)

Leather seats is very comfortable, but the air condition is not cold at all. I think it's because we are sitting the last row behind.

We had dinner at Tao @ Sunway Giza.

Funny part is that when we enter, 2 couples are there later on 4 couples entered, but we are the last couple who leave. I am a big eater! Or I shall say we are the big eaters!

The food taste good, you can order from the Menu and they will cook and bring it for you. A little different from the other buffet like Shogun.

Well if you want me to compare Shogun and Tao, I think I will prefer Tao.

Varieties of food

Thanks B for accompany me the whole day! <3

oh wait! and my present!
our couple wallet.

Now I know why you want me to buy you the wallet for your birthday, cause you want mine to be the same like yours too! *evil smile*

Thanks for everything B! Imma need to crack my head for your birthday next year! =P

iBilik Review

noreply@blogger.com (Baboon Tan) — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 02:36:00 +0000

Came across this website whereby I'm helping my friend search a room for rent around Sunway area, saw this website call iBilik.

So I just type Bandar Sunway at the search tab, and all rooms for rent around Bandar Sunway will show out.

Some search result you can view photos but some you can't. Depends on the poster. If you are the poster it's better that you add photos to attract people view it. I will definitely view those with photos first.

For example below:

By the way you can also

choose your preference.

This really enhance users experience, like you prefer to stay with male or female.

You can always bookmark the room first if you feel that the room is suitable for you, and later on review your bookmark and compare with other rooms.

There are also Short Term Rentals available.

For Short Term Rentals, you can choose your Preferred Date and then pay Online, later on you just need to Print Payment Code and Check In.

Normally you will need to pay amount of deposit upon check in.

iBilik is also suitable for people who wants to rent out their property or place.

they will handle the online booking and payment collection.

Processing fee would be 10% of the total fees.

They will pay earning bi-monthly to the host through Malaysia bank.

Personally would think that more improvement needed for the preference.

I think it should have sort out whether is the Room Rental have a photos attached to it or not, that's the way to attract them.

It's also better to have a comment section for each rental and notifications to the Poster once there are people comment on their rental property. It's better to interactive with potential customer, as they may have doubts to ask.

It would be better if we can just share out the Room Rental directly to Facebook so that it increases viewer-ship.

Kings and Queen of Comedy Asia 2

noreply@blogger.com (Baboon Tan) — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 06:08:00 +0000

Venue: Plenary Hall, KLCC
Date: 18th and 19th of November
Show time: 8.30 pm – 11.00 pm (2.5 hours)
Tickets: RM 88, RM 128, RM 198, RM 298

Kings and Queen of Comedy Asia is bringing the best Asian comedy talents from around the world.

So who is The Comics!

Harith Iskander

he is generally acknowledged as Malaysia’s premier stand-up comedian. For more than a decade, he has performed live at countless events and entertained thousands of Malaysians and foreigners with his unique and original material.

Sugar Sammy

he is tall, handsome and funny -all the makings of a superstar. The Hollywood Reporter just named him one of the top 10 rising comedy talents from around the world, and Askmen.com dubbed him “Comedy’s New Rock Star”.

Paul Ogata

he brings his twisted humor around the world, to television and even the movies. Paul’s show lays bare his insecurities, recounts his marital foibles and hammers on world events.

Vivek Mahbubani

won a stand-up comedy competition for the Chinese category, making the funniest Chinese person in Hong Kong... an Indian. He enjoys pleasantly shocking the audience when he throws in his fluent Cantonese during English sets and vice versa.

Joanne Kam (Queen)

The emancipation of Joanne Kam into the entertainment industry in the 90s, turned around and introduces a whole new meaning of comedy in the conservative night scene of Kuala Lumpur.Joanne’s distinct style of acid tongue humor earned her the reputation of being one of the most notoriously funny lady on Malaysian stage. The audience just couldn’t get enough of her candid, risqué jokes.

Enough said, 5 best comics around the world will definitely make you LOL during their performances.
Don't believe? Check out previous public expression caught by the camera.

Warning, don't get caught by the camera yea! :)

Unfortunately Landy Wen unable to attend the Press Conference.

I admit, Park Jung Min is very friendly, every time the girl fan in front of me shout his name, he will look at her. And that's the reason why I'm able to snap so many of his photos. Now I know why he is the most friendly among SS501.

Umami Steamboat Buffet Restaurant

noreply@blogger.com (Baboon Tan) — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 14:05:00 +0000

It's a weekend Sunday, arrived at 7.30pm but the crowd were full inside and outside!

Choose your choices of soup when you arrive.

HK Herbal Soup and Fish Head soup

Umami Pepper Soup and Thai TomYam Soup (Red)

I personally love the Fish Head soup and Thai TomYam Soup.

Fish Head soup doesn't have the fishy smell most likely due to the freshness of the fish in the soup.

Thai TomYam soup is rather kinda spicy.
Pepper soup, for me is too pepper-ish, wouldn't wanna drink it but taste it sometimes will do.

Seafood lovers, you get it right!

They serve wide range of seafood selections

from fresh crabs & prawns, fish fillets, mussels, oyster & scallops,

Most of the seafoods are fresh especially the fish fillet and mussels and prawns.

variety of clams, squids, and poultry.

Mee, Fishball, Fu Zok,

Vegetables

In case you don't know I love eating crabstick.

The Lamb meat taste great too.

not sure whether they do have beef.

Visit the BBQ corner
Crab and satay

BBQ Chicken and Fried Chicken

You gonna taste the awesome BBQ chicken as it's crunchy and you won't stop eating it like me.

One of the main advantage compare to other Buffet Restaurant I visited or rather I should say around Sunway Mentari area is that, they have indoor area with air-condition.

I don't really like outdoor as I will become sweaty. I wouldn't want to use so many tissues, wasting my time wiping my sweat instead I can concentrate with my buffet.

For price of RM26.80+ , you get to enjoy buffet style steamboat and free flow of drinks. Staff will keep replenish the food until it is out of stock.

All food served are PORK FREE.

I won't forget that I actually get the first row seats because I didn't know that it's a first come first serve basis. I'm sure you won't wanna sit at the first row right? It hurts my neck.

After this incident, I always collect my tickets earlier.

My first screening with Nuffnang was at Jan 2010, previously without any free movie screening I spend about RM425 in year 2009 but in year 2010, I only spend about RM230. Save almost half of the money!

I admit I'm a movie addict, so why not join the free movie screening and save some money up!

About 30 screenings in total with Nuffnang

2010

2011

And also for G+ member, we are entitle to watch Media Screening.

I get to watch the Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows Part 1

before anyone else could watch!

Flashed back to 2010, one of the FIRST major events that I had joined is the

The LARGEST Bloggers' Gathering with

Gatsby Deodorant Street Fair

It's the time where I started to meet lots of new friends.

First time meeting them in real life after knowing each other at Innit.

I'm proud to be one of the bloggers who join this gathering

cause it's under the Malaysia Book of Records.

Talking about meeting bloggers, I never forget the chance of meeting blogger celebrities

at the Project Alpha Season 2 Launch.

first time meeting Timothy in person!
He is definitely a friendly guy, try say Hi to him if you meet him.

Shaolin Tiger

superb tall!

and of course Xia Xue

I had also given a chance to visit Nuffnang's office on the 18 June 2010

it's actually Coffee with Nuffies where we get to meet Nuffies.

Basically you will get to know how Nuffnang works and of course you get to see how delightful their office is. I'm sure it will be more gorgeous now after the expanding where Churp Churp office is just next to Nuffnang office.

Won't forget that I actually leave my footprint at the

Nuffnang Footprints board

*spotted mine?*

Here is it! My handmade card.

Wonder if you have join any costume event?

I'm sure you want to see how bloggers dress up into monster and party together!

LG Cookie Monster Party

terrified by the 2 monsters!

Kenny Sia - The Shrek

Monsters!

and for 2011, I joined the Blogger Sports Carnival

first time swinging the golf stick!

This coming 16 December 2011, 500 bloggers from around the Asia-Pacific region will be meeting up at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards 2011 in Putrajaya Marriott.

The Awards aims to not only honour the region's best bloggers, but also to bring together blogger communities from across Asia-Pacific so that they can meet each other.

It would be best if I will be given a chance to join this award ceremony and claps hand to the best bloggers. I can't say that Nuffnang is part of my life, but Nuffnang really do help me meet up with more friends, new friends and awesome friends to hang out. I even get to experience different type of events (golf, monster costume party, movies and etc).

What can I say to express my love..

Johnny English Reborn movie review

noreply@blogger.com (Baboon Tan) — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 10:00:00 +0000

Date: 13 September 2011
Time: 9pm
Venue: GSC Mid Valley

Johnny English Reborn

PLAYER

Directed by: Oliver Parker
Written by: Rowan Atkinson, Hamish McColl
Starring: Rowan Atkinson, Gillian Anderson, Rosamund Pike, Dominic West, Daniel Kaluuya and Richard Schiff

PLOT (from wikipedia)

English attempts to stop a group of international assassins before they eliminate a world leader and cause global chaos. In the years since MI-7's top spy vanished off the grid, he has been honing his unique skills in a remote region of Asia. But when his agency superiors learn of an attempt against the Chinese premier's life, they must hunt down the highly unorthodox agent. Now that the world needs him once again, Johnny English is back in action. With one shot at redemption, he must employ the latest in hi-tech gadgets to unravel a web of conspiracy that runs throughout the KGB, CIA and even MI-7. With mere days until a heads of state conference, one man must use every trick in his playbook to protect the world.

PERSONAL COMMENT

Johnny English Reborn is the sequel to Johnny English (2003) starring Rowan Atkinson.

This film is actually parodying the James Bond secret agent genre.

I love how the Plot started, especially where English meditate himself at Tibet. He learned skills from his master like, Focus on what you want to do, and there is always solution to a problem.
All these he will be used at the climax.

It's really nice to see our favorite Rowan Atkinson is back in action, love to see how his acting make us laugh out loud.
As this is a comedy, of course some part of the scenes is not logical at all, but as long as it's funny I'm fine with it.

He uses lipsticks

Some parts..I just gave a stunned look.

For Johnny Girl, it's Rosamund Pike.
Rosamund Pike is hot and sexy and

she is also the former Bond girl at Die Another Day.

For effects, love how they modified the Rolls Royce, which is sound activated, the wheel chair that travel faster than the police car and the Missile launcher with the umbrella.

Overall, if you are a fan of comedy you will definitely enjoy the movie. Just don't think so much and enjoy the movie.

PERSONAL RATING

Plot: 5/10
Effects: 5/10
Humour: 7.5/10
Overall: 7/10

Thanks to ChurpChurp and United International Pictures for the screening

Lelong.my E-commerce Fair

noreply@blogger.com (Baboon Tan) — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 05:49:00 +0000

Date: 13 August 2011
Time: 12pm
Venue: Mid Valley Exhibition Centre

I went there quite early to avoid the jam, knowing that there will be massive jam at Mid Valley during weekend. And of course, parking will be a problem if you reach Mid valley at about 12pm.

I entered into the main entrance

I saw a big crowd around the main stage, and I walked to the stage and check it out.

It's the SUPER BID time.

As you can see, there is many gadgets to BID.

Range from Handphones, Laptop, GPS, Tablet and etc.

I take a look at the list, but I didn't have anything in my mind to buy. So I just stand there and look how the crowd bidding.

There is a screen to show the bid price and the discount discounted.

Apparently there are many still willing to bid even though there is only 20% discount off the original price.

I were quite shocked with that.

Next, I visit to the booths around, there are 200 booths that sell Camera, Hand phones, Car accessories, Fashion, Beauty and etc.

I saw a booth that sell HTC phone, they have discounts on selected phone too.

Spotted the Lelong.MY booth.

Well I guess that the main attraction for me would be the Super Bid.

There are 4 rounds of Bidding. I remember there is the Asus Transformer Table for Bid also, I would have Bid it, if I really want to buy.

Hope Lelong.MY will organize the E-Commerce Fair every year.

Rise of The Planet of The Apes movie review

noreply@blogger.com (Baboon Tan) — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 14:47:00 +0000

Date: 2 Aug 2011
Time: 9pm

Venue: GSC @ 1 utama

PLAYERS

Directed by: Rupert Wyatt
Produced by:Amanda Silver, Rick Jaffa, Peter Chernin, Dylan Clark
Written by: Amanda Silver, Rick Jaffa
Starring: James Franco, Freida Pinto, Andy Serkis, Tom Felton. David Hewlett, Chelah Horsdal

PLOT
Will Rodman (James Franco) is a scientist, currently residing in San Francisco, who is working on a cure for Alzheimer's Disease by performing tests on apes. The first test subject is a chimpanzee, named Caesar (Andy Serkis), whose parents had been captured in Africa.[5] Rodman's "cure" not only repairs brain cells as they expected to, but it genetically modifies Caesar's way of thinking to create a new breed of ape with human-like intelligence. Caesar learns unbelievably well, but human authority orders him to be locked up. However, he eventually proves to be smart enough to escape from his cage and releases an airborne-strain of the cure among thousands of other apes (the ones that are caged with him), making them as intelligent as Caesar. Thousands of apes begin to foment revolution. Soon, war breaks out between humans and apes. Rodman may be the only one able to stop them before the ape revolution ends with the apes succeeding, humanity being driven to extinction, and apes becoming the most dominant species on Earth.

Personal Comment (may contains spoiler, read at your own risk)

Computer Graphics

CGI apes created by Weta Digital from motion-capture performances.

Facial expression like angry, jealous, happy really looks alike like human. You will be focusing every single expression that the apes show especially from Caesar. That's the best element I can see from this movie.

Forget to mention that, all the CGI are produced by Weta Digital Company and they have won several Academy awards. Avatar movie are produced by them too, so this movie will be the improve version of motion capture technology used in Avatar.

Plot is alright only, climax doesn't seem excited as it is.

Caesar bringing the whole gang back to Redwood forest

However, the intelligence after the injection of drugs shown by the ape is impressive. He is able to do what a 8 years old children will do when he is just 2 years old. His IQ level increase significantly after consuming the drugs.

A loophole found in this movie would be after Caesar and his gang break out from the "prison", it looks like more than hundred of them ran out of the prison, but in the prison there is like enough to only accommodate hundred of them.

The wow scene

It is also quite Emotion as Caesar would really wants to go back his owner Will Rodman but he decided not to mainly because he wants to save all the other apes lock in the "prison". Caesar cried after that.

Lastly, it is really touched watching the ape finally giving humanity

Do take note the Ending on a tease for a potential sequel. Yes, there will be next episode!

Personal Rating

Plot: 6/10

Action: 7/10

Effects: 8/10

Overall: 7/10

Thanks to FlyFM as I won the tickets through SMS contest!
