Weekly Craze: Canon Rock

Well, it's not the infamous Canon Rock by guitar but a simple recorder!

Seriously, this is sickalicious! Lovin' IT!

My Experience with SONY Cyber Shot

Staying in Penang is truly a blessing to me since there’s so many places I can go and not get lost, literally you could not get lost in Penang unless you head to the jungle and yes you get lost there.

Penang Hill, tourist attraction and the heart of Penang. The tram service was recently continued by when we went for hiking, it wasn’t moving. That’s why we WENT hiking!

The hike began with a sloopy sloop which is around 40 degree, I guess? Never though it would be this difficult at the beginning of the hike! We manage to survive till the first stop of the hike! Thank GOD!

State of physical: Partially working

And we are at 1.3km only, where the trail is around 5km. Another 3.7km to go. *faint*

Haha, just joking. As usual, we, the ‘strongmen’ went on our ‘Trail of Test’. Oh ya, luckily we brought camera for this hike and one of us, which is the one wearing white on picture about, was slowly walking up and taking pictures. Let’s see some of his pictures, shall we?

Uh-huh, okay…

Nevermind, let’s move on the journey.

As we move on our ‘Trail of Test’, we stumble a mansion on the hill.

OMFG, WTF! I mean… it’s nice!

Anyway, this is even interesting than the mansion.

“Where? What?”

THISS! A white UMC (Unidentified Moving Creature) which WE have never seen before in our life. Curious…. but curiosity kills a cat, right?

As we move forward, against the gravity, FINALLY we manage to reach the top! Of course, harmless. “As usual la~ StrongMEN!”

The view of Penang from Penang Hill, just a breath-taking view. Our 5.1km was truly worth it but our physical body do not allow us to stand even longer, therefore we just sat down and look at the scenery.

As we know, Penang Hill is a tourist attraction but this?

It’s empty! Maybe it’s due to the closure of the tram service.

Anyway, we ‘Strongmen’ are still human, therefore food are still very essential and off we go to hunt for food. We manage to find a restaurant named ‘David Brown’s Restaurant’.

Classy restaurant and beautiful garden but we could not afford it! It’s very very very expansive. Therefore, off we go to the food court. Much cheaper but the food was also very delicious.

After our breakfast/brunch/lunch, we went for a stroll around the hill. 

The ancient Penang Hill’s tram.

Paya Terubong/Farlim/Air Itam, hometown!

Even a big millipede said Hi to us. 

We manage to spend around an hour plus up there and we decided to hike down but hey, picture first!

On the way down, about 500 meters away from the peak of the trail, we stumble a jeep-service and we decided to take it! Our legs hurt! It’s cause us around RM30 but it was worth it! Our ride was even better than a roller coaster!

At the end of the day, our legs hurt like madness, we are cashless but it’s some experience that will remain as memories in my brain. Quote from Mastercard, “It’s priceless”.

Your faithful blogger,

Me! *smile widely*

Weekly Craze: Judas

I know it's Sunday but hey, it's still weekend! Enjoy this new song by Mother Monster!

Enjoy!

P.S. It's dangerously addictive. Caution ya?

Age of Glory: KOMTAR

KOMTAR, acronym of Kompleks Tun Abdul Razak was once ‘the’ complex of all times before all others high-end complex such as Gurney Plaza or Queensbay mall.

But now as, if you ask the younger generation about shopping complex, first in mind would be Gurney Plaza and so on and so on, but they would not mention about KOMTAR. Why? This is why!

Isolated, abandoned, you named it. As I can remember from my childhood, this road is always packed of people, walking and struggling to get thru but now the floor is pretty squeaky clean.

When I walked down in KOMTAR, I can feel those nostalgic feeling I once had when I was very young; Uncle sitting down, lot of people walking down the complex, McDonalds were packed of people eating burger. I even went to this eatery where it’s has been open long time ago.

I meant, just look at this KFC store.

So many freaking years and it’s still standing STRONG!

Seriously, the only thing the public come to KOMTAR is to settle there fines, taxes, etc etc. Nothing much! Just that!

A lot of stores are still there, and they refused to leave. I guess they still believe that KOMTAR will have the age of glory once more in the future. Furthermore, the government is repairing/upgrading KOMTAR which I was really pleased by those action.

Moreover, part of KOMTAR had became ICT Mall, which I think it’s a brilliant idea, something like Low Yat in KL.

I mean, it’s a great first step to renovate KOMTAR and open an ICT mall, but they just need to make their paces a lot faster because I am afraid it’s something like KOMTAR too.

Emptiness.

Reviews

This couple month I had been spending my cold hard-earn cash on widescreen cinema with cozy seats and air-conditional.

I am making my short reviews about the movie I watch, just to fill in my time. Don’t expect the Rotten Tomatoes-esque of reviews, simple one.

The Green Hornet

The Green Hornet, yes it released quite a number of months already but I just watch okay? Seth Rogen is a comedian, therefore it’s kinda funny how he acted and his natural comedy background. Jay Chou, the superstar. It’s kinda weird to heard him speak English, with a weird accent.

Overall, it’s all about vigilante hero story. Predictable but watch it for the comedians’ sake.

Rating: 6/10 (Comedy’s sake)

The King’s Speech

Award-winning show, a must-watch movie! For some people who prefer action-packed movie, I would not recommend this movie to you because it’s drama and history genre. Colin Firth, winner for Best Actor who played as King George VI who just can’t speak… well. Stammer all the sentence he said and help by a speech therapist, Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush).

It’s might be a little boring from the starts by slowly with a little humour, the movie is enlighted with a splendid end. Overall, one again, a must-watch movie.

Rating: 9/10

Faster

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, ever since he joined the acting world, it’s getting better and better but in this movie, I would say it’s a little dull. It’s all about vengeance. Hunting down those robbers that killed his brother… Plot was boring.

Maybe if you are interested by the details of the movie or else, it’s more or else you will know the ending.

Rating: 4/10

127 Hours

Another must-watch movie. 127 Hours is based on the true story of Aron Ralston who loves the wild and don’t tell anyone that where he’s going. It’s a story where he is stuck in a canyon with a big boulder stuck on his right hand, with a limited amount of water to survive.

This movie is truly inspiring but for those weak-hearted people, I do not recommend you to watch the hand-amputating part. A lot of people can’t accept it, its looks really really real. The soundtrack was also highly suitable for the movie, check it out.

Rating: 9/10

The Mechanic

Another action-packed movie! Full of action and adrenaline that will sure keeps everyone awake for the movie. Bishop (Jason Statham) who is a hitman kills his target and acted it as if it’s an accident. During the movie, he had to kill one of his friend and the friend’s son is a good-for-nothing where he taught him to be a hitman too, something like that because I don’t really get it when I watched it.

Anyway, the plot was interesting but rather predictable too. Kill, kill, killed, as usual.

Rating: 7/10 (Action part only)

Rango

Johnny Depp’s movie. Although I hate to watch animation in cinema but this is quite interesting. Plot was easily predictable as it’s a person, or chameleon or lizard who lie and coincidentally with luck, people believe in him as a hero. Well, watch it for comedians’ sake again because there are lots of jokes! Very funny and laughable movie!

It’s might be animation but not recommended for children 12 and below because most of the joke are kinda mature jokes. Anyway, it’s a family/friends hangout movie.

Rating: 8/10

There are more movies I wanted to watch such as Black Swan, Unknown and etc. but it’s the cash I am worried of. Well, maybe you can tell me how do you think of the movie? *smile*

Weekly Craze: Music Video

This week is all about music because all the latest hits are released!

Hold It Against Me - Britney Spears

And coming up, Born This Way - Lady GaGa

And the latest from Friday, On The Floor - J.Lo feat Pitbull

These are the latest hits on the charts! If you like American Idol, you must heard about Chris Medina. Well, he released a single called What Are Words. Very meaningful.

Follow my twitter for more current updates of myself and the entertainment!

Drive Angry

Lets begin with the show. Drive Angry, acted by the one-and-only Nicholas Cage, released in Malaysia on the 25th of February… blah blah, read Wikipedia if you wan to know more or watch the movie instead.

Well, thanks to Nuffnang for the pair of tickets for me to watch Drive Angry in the latest cinema in town, TGV Cinema, 1st Avenue Mall.

My review for the cinema was it’s not as big as GSC but the seats were comfortable and cozy. The air-con was freaking cool as I was shaking in there. Sound systems were driving me crazy, in a good way!

Speaking of ‘driving’, meet some cars before you speak about a movie, lets talk reality!

Ferrari?

Not into red? How about yellow??

or maybe this sickening one? Argh I want this!!!!

Awesome! I mean hey, you don’t see 11 luxurious sport cars lining up everyday right? Why not indulge it will you can?

Porsche?

RIMS?

Unfortunately they did not bring Lamborghini here, DAYUM! But never mind, at least they brought Lotus here.

Ah… what a fantasy to own one of these cars. Just imagine the crowd snapping pictures and indulging their fantasy… and free movie passes and merchandises were given away!

Back to reality, I mean the movie. Since Nuffnang gave 75 Nuffnangers a pair of tickets and I am one of the lucky ones, thanks for the tickets but I wasted my another one since I have no date. =(

My review towards the movie was a shocked. Well, this is my 1st time ever I went into a rated 18 movie since my birthday was only a month ago and yes, I am 18 now. Thanks for asking. =)

What I meant was I never thought of the word ”F**k” or “B*tch’ would be used in the cinema. Well, it’s not my 1st time watching movie with foul languages but it’s in cinema, public. Everyone has their first time, just bear with me.

To be honest, the movie was actually good, cool effects and action parts but I would recommend everyone to buy DVD to watch because in cinema, A LOT OF scene were censored or ‘cut’. It freaking annoys me when I see some bad guy going to attack and the next scene I saw him dead already, wtf?

Overall, it’s your choice. Sound system or uncensored parts? You choice. *grins*
