A Nice Mid-Air Greeting.... 2008-05-19 03:42:17 On board the flight back to Labuan, the routine hum-drum of passengers finding remaining available seats, air stewards giving their routine customary preaching on how to use the life safety jacket and crying children fill the air of what is now a common monthly practice for me, which is sitting in an 'AiriAsia' plane jetsetting across the oh-so-glamorous route of KL to Labuan.Before taking-off, I Read more:Greeting
Review: Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull 2008-05-27 00:47:47 I never believed for one minute that I would see another Indiana
Jones movie in my lifetime. Ever. I was a mere kid when the so-called last installment of ‘Indiana Jones
& the Last Crusade’ burst into life on the cinema screen (and I was still in Ipoh, my hometown, when I saw it). I was amazed, bewildered, astonished, basically went kid-crazy over the adventures of Dr. Jones and his equall Read more:Kingdom

Riding the Wave of Petrol Price Increases 2008-06-04 20:51:38 Labuan actually experienced a jam!!! And it’s on a non-holiday too!!! Shock!!! Horror!!! Terror!!! Why? Simply because the dwellers of Labuan Island were scrambling their cars to the petrol kiosks for re-fills. A rise of 0.78 cents or 40 % from RM 1.92 a liter for petrol is a MASSIVE increase (especially when the previous price hikes were only at the maximum of 30 cents). Well, I can’t say it Read more:Riding

Review: Kung Fu Panda 2008-06-09 01:12:02 The first time I heard that Jack Black is working on a kiddie movie, I laughed. And after watching that kiddie movie, I was still laughing. Not at it, but with it. And that movie was called ‘The School of Rock’. This movie totally shifted my perception of Jack Black from a narrow and tenacious comedian to a broader and multi-faceted one. And a more talented comedian with his tenacious reputati Read more:Panda
Harvest Festival '08 @ Kota Kinabalu, Sabah 2008-06-16 04:24:02 From 30th to 31st May, I was in Kota Kinabalu to witness the much celebrated festival of harvest called ‘Tadau Ka’amatan’. It was a cultural baptism of unique dances, exotic foods, wicked rice wines and quaint games during 3 days and 2 nights in the heart Sabah
’s capital, Kota Kinabalu, where the ‘HarvestFestival
’ or the ‘Tadau Ka’amatan’ was celebrated as gloriously as any maj

Review: Wanted 2008-07-02 20:48:22 Finally got to see ‘Wanted’ after so many failed attempts at it due to ‘full-house’ sessions at the cineplexes. So was it worth my time at the queues? Well, if you like full-blooded-alpha-male-testosterone-charged brutality disguised in a ballet of flying bullets coupled with stunts that defy all laws of science (which would put Einstein to shame), then yes, this is your cup of tea. But if
(Belated) Birthday Surprise @ Home!!! 2008-06-29 21:47:03 Back in KL: Weekend of 21st June ~ 22nd June 2008.Well my birthday was on the 9th of June. So I guess if I skipped my trip back to KL during that time would allow me to miss all the fuss and duzzle, ‘cause recently there is this in-thing now to throw surprises among my old classmates (example: Uncle at Pangkor with foam sprays and Theva at his home with flying cakes). So, coming back 2 weeks lat Read more:Birthday

Chaos At The Pumps...AGAIN!!! 2008-06-24 20:12:27 It was chaos at the pumps again!!! WTFFFFFFFF!!! Causing so much traffic jam!!! Can’t get home fast enough to watch my latest episodes of ‘Smallville’ on my com!!! Petrol prices increased again?? Actually no, there was this wild rumor flying all over by SMS yesterday that petrol stations will be closed for 3 to 5 days to protest their non-increment in commissions. So we typical Malaysians pa Read more:Chaos
Review: Hellboy 2 - The Golden Army 2008-07-17 00:57:04 The director is absolutely amazing. Guillermo Del Toro is one of the most imaginative and creative individuals around and he is a prime model of how a filmmaker should be. He is one that remembers his dreams or nightmares, be it at childhood or adulthood, and transfers them into his movies with creative relish. Every wonderment, horror, curiosity or pleasure is ripped from his subconscious and are Read more:Hellboy

EPILOGUE: (Belated) Birthday Surprise @ Home !!! 2008-07-14 00:13:38 Just wanna mention abit more about THAT birthday surprise weekend. As you may already have known in my previous blog postings, I was ambushed and bombed by almost 100 water balloons in my own damn home. Not only that, I was rained with cold water and smeared with yucky slices of cakes. But I’m not pissed, I’m not angry….no way. It was all for fun right? Right….*cough* Anyway, there was a b Read more:Birthday

Review: Hancock 2008-07-10 20:38:00 Even before 'Hancock
' went into production (with a earlier title of 'Tonight He Comes'), news of its fresh and innovation script that takes on a much more alternative perspective at a superhero attracted much innovative praise. Never once Hollywood had done a film on a hero that “don’t give a f**k” about who he is or what he is supposed to do. He is simply him and just wants to get on with h
PROLOGUE: (Belated) Birthday Surprise @ Home!!! 2008-07-09 19:44:07 Just wanna share with everyone just how those people planned my birthday surprise attack at my home that resulted in me being bombarded with water balloons, smelly cakes and cold water. It all started with a sneeky thread in Facebook...Cheeky blardy devils all of you!!!

Review: The Mummy 3 2008-08-02 00:57:32 Just a quick review here of a franchise that I absolutely loved way back in 1999 when Stephen Sommers directed a film that had all the hallmarks of lameness but somehow pulled off a miracle that created one of the most fun summer blockbusters I’ve ever enjoyed in a long time. For me, ‘The Mummy
’ franchise brought me popcorn movie entertainment not experienced since the glory days of ‘India
Review: The Dark Knight 2008-07-24 01:07:17 The mere mention of ‘Batman’ and anyone would associate it with the likes of ‘Spider-Man’ or ‘Iron Man’ that are more crowd-pleasing and eye-candy. That is true if it’s ‘Batman’, but not Christopher Nolan’s ‘Batman’. Nolan injected this legendary comic book character with so much style, so much charisma, so much life that it instantly establishes itself way apart from all o Read more:Knight
Review: WALL*E & Star Wars: The Clone Wars 2008-08-17 22:06:31 Nothing much happened over the weekend for me, so I decided to watch to 2 movies in 2 days haha. I was really anticipating the latest Pixar offering, 'WALL*E', while I was dragged with my legs kicking to watch the other film, ‘Star Wars
: The Clone Wars’. Here’s what I think…Review: WALL*EI always believed that the Disney’s greatest and most original characters were introduced to us way b

Back in KL on the 28th Aug to the 2nd Sept!!! 2008-08-28 00:08:23 Again, so sorry for any update on my blog. IT’S SO DEAD. Sigh, no time to blog much as work is really stealing a lot of my time and energy away. And whenever I get back home, all I wanna do is just sit on my behind and vegetate in front of my TV. At times I vegetate so much, there’s a whole eco system evolving all over me. So wonderful, the miracle of nature, isn’t it?But nature does take a
