HAPPY 57TH BIRTHDAY, MALAYSIA

Image
You are 57 years old today, and still you find it hard to voice out your opinion at times. Most of the times your voices are overpowered by selfish people and also those who couldn't careless how it will affect your feelings. As grown up you are now, you are still fighting to break free of the boundaries which are set.  You are separated, there was a time when everything is working together, now things seems so distant. It is like oil and water trying their best to be together. Thanks to selfish people, you are now broken at it's core but still trying to hold on the best for us.  You provide lots of people but also seems to be asked more than you can given most of the time. You have been tortured, punished, and ridicule by selfish people. You also have been made fun of from your friends but you still stand up proudly and made us proud. You were cared upon, now everyone just wanted something from you without thinking of your feelings. You just being pushed a

MOVIE REVIEW: THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY

Image
Saw the trailer for this movie and instantly told myself that I have to watch it, therefore I drag gf along and without thinking it through book for 9 pm movie at TGV, 1 Utama on a Friday (I know, genius) but that is also because no other cinema is showing this show. Parked my car like a bawse and then ran straight for dinner at 8.15 pm and rush through everything, almost choking on my wantons. We were in the cinema sharp at 9 pm and the movie start shortly after everyone stood up and sang "Negaraku". The movie talks about Papa Kadam (Om Puri) who brings his family to Europe after his culinary empire in India suffer losses from a vicious attack from losing election party which also took the life of his beloved wife. Trained under her mother before her death, culinary extraordinaire, Hassan Kadam (Manish Dyal) followed Papa Kadam together with the rest. It all started with the brake malfunction and helped by Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) which leads them to a small town,S

MOVIE REVIEW: LUCY

Image
Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) tells a story of a girl who is able to unlock 100% of her brain capacity with the help of powerful synthetic drug. She was suppose to just deliver the good which was implanted in her stomach but things took a turn when she was keep captive and was tortured by the captor. She meets up with Professor Norman (Morgan Freeman) to show the world what happen when you use 100% of your brain capacity. THE GOOD Scarlett Johnssson played her role the best she could. She made it look natural and you can feel the emotions running through her at least unlike Megan Fox (SJ > MF). THE BAD Everything. Basically, for starters everyone can seems to be carrying a gun freely in the streets, doesn't matter where she is, in a hospital, hotel or just along the streets. The cops also fail to realise that the baddies are outside of the same very university that they stopped at. People are across the street loading up weapon and you all run into the building? (WTF?

MOVIE REVIEW: THE SUSPECT

Image
I was checking out previous year Korean movie that I miss and someone in the forum recommend this movie. I have no idea this is such an action pack movie from Korean because most of the time all they are known for is variety and also love drama. This movie tells a tale of a North Korean top spy, Dong-chul (Gong Yoo) who was abandon during a mission and his wife and daughter murdered. He escape to South Korea and took up a job as a night driver for the CEO of a powerful corporation. The chairman gave a pair of glasses to Dong-Chul before he was brutally murdered and now Dong-Chul is on the run to uncover the secret behind the glasses that was left for him after involvement from government official. THE GOOD The show itself is quick paced from the start. Think  of watching a Korean version of Jason Bourne. Less talk and more action from the start and Dong-chul acting role is so fitting for this action movie. The story is also shrouded with mystery because we need to know what

WEEKEND CHILL PILL: PRAWNING @ TROPICANA EBI FISHING

Image
Yesterday, CY and me has the same idea to do some prawning and we wanted to try out this new place called Tropicana Ebi Fishing. Therefore, I invited 2 of my friends, Sue and Stezon to join us together since they are prawning virgins. Reach there around 10.35 pm and the place is packed with people. First time I have visited a prawning area where the are more ladies than man. Back in Melaka, the whole place is fill with guys only fishing throughout the night. People mountain, people sea The motto of this place is "Prawning made easy" it is mention in almost all of their wall posts. I suppose it is easy because there are lots of prawns in the pond and you always get them biting your bait but most of the time it depends also on experience and luck! Lots of time you will see the prawn above the surface of water but before you can bring it over to your side, it will just nicely slide back in the pond. TROLL SUCCESSFUL! You will need to pay a deposit of RM50 per rod a

MOVIE REVIEW: TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES

Image
For those like me, unker level. You will all remember that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (TMNT) was a cartoon which airs in the morning at TV3 (those were the days of good cartoons). Fast forward to 2014, there is a movie directed by none other than the 'legendary' Michael Bay. The only actor that is famous or so I think is Megan Fox who plays April O'Neil in the movie. The ever ready reporter, Vernon Fenwick (Will Arnett) who is wishing to resurrect her dying career and also believes that there is a vigilante who is fighting the Foot Clan. She pairs up with  Will Arnett who plays the cameraman, Vernon Fenwick who is constantly hitting on April and hoping one day she falls for him. THE GOOD  The show is light at heart. If you just look pass the errors and common sense, you will find the show stupidly entertaining. The jokes are well not that bad and some of the part makes you go like "WOT?!". Other than that, the fighting scenes are good, lots of ninja s

MOVIE REVIEW: THE OTHER WOMAN

Image
I realize I had this on my HDD for the longest time and did not watch, so I fired it up and surprisingly watched till the very end. It started off with a Carly Whitten (Cameron Diaz) cheating with Mark King ( Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) without the knowledge o f Kate King ( Leslie Mann) which turns that she is not the only girl he is cheating on. He also have a much hotter girl named Amber (Kate Upton) and all of the girls gang up and try to make Mark King pay for not able to keep his dick in his pants. Oh, best part is he does investment for startup companies.  THE GOOD Watch for Kate Upton that is basically it. Actually, there is still something more to it besides her (a little more only). The story line seems cliche but you will want to find out how it ends and also the it is really funny. From the confession of his wife to the mistress, till they finding out that he had another woman in his life. And all hell break's loose when three ladies get together to plot for rev

MOVIE REVIEW: HERCULES

Image
Legend tells a tale of a demi-god named Hercules (Dwayne Johnson) who is the son of Zeus. He is blessed with super strength and also blessed by the gods. Famed after his twelve labours and thus the legend is born or not. Hercules is a mercenary now and travel together with his crew of 6 (just roll with it). Hercules is then summon to help the King of Thrace defeating a tyrannical warlord. THE GOOD If fighting and bonding is what you come to see then this movie is for you. Hercules feature lots of fighting scene which make sense since it a movie about a demi-god during the olden days. You will also see leadership and lots of Hercules in action and his leadership skills. Humor along the way is also present in the movie as we witness Hercules and his crew carrying his legendary status to a whole new different level. THE BAD The story does not have any gods down and help Hercules or against him. This movie takes the approach of Hercules in a more realistic way without an

MOVIE REVIEW: GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

The Guardian of the Galaxy (GotG) was loved by many and I am currently one of them. Catch the movie on Friday night and already falling in love with the direction Marvel is heading. Nothing so serious like the previous Marvel movie this you will definitely fall in love with although you are not an avid comic fan with any knowledge towards GotG. In GotG, we follow the story of young human Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) who was kidnapped and raise as a thief with a nickname of Star-Lord.  Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and Groot (Vin Diesel) together with Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Drax (Dave Baustista) all tag to kill Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace)  THE GOOD  Bunch of different character get taken into a roller coaster ride which makes you wonder will they last but they do and their friendship grew in this 121 minute movie. Lots of good vibes in the movie and also some serious action happening throughout the whole movie. You will be taken in a roller coaster ride of laughter, happiness, sad
