Im doing this review while listening to The Little Things (The soundtrack from Wanted). Never before I seen a movie more... more... awesome bulls*** since the matrix. The effect are just mind boggling. Is there such thing a bending bullets. I may flunk physics but I know bullets dont bend. But they way they did is makes it looks real. Just don't try it at home. (there is really no such thing as bending bullets.Lol). The movie is like an ochestra. It's like swordfighting with bullets. It's a decent movie to watch anyway. Is there anything I find diskliking about the movie? Can't think of any. Yet the movie has some unsatisfaction due to a certian characters death ***cough*** jolie***cough***. Which just seems unfair. I dont think there will be a sequal.
I give this movie a 4.5/5 bullets.

Am I selfish?
It's been a while since I update this. Well at the post suggest. I notice that I'm being a bit selfish with my other half. Making her do this that I like to do rather than the other way around. Maybe I have a short attention span or something but I find her stuff not to my liking. Well in order to make the relationship work I have to compromise. In other words... I suck big time. Need to step up before another vent occur in the rift
Enough about that. Let see what new with me. My comp broke down (got to take a picture of it) last week due to massive overheating. Had to send the Hdd for warranty or as I like to say it Warrent Tea (a special kind of tea). Got a cooler Hdd with all good goodies in it. Thanks again d3x. Im so excited what coming at the horizon... The best cartoon ever... Hopefully next week I can share it with you.
The Dark Knight, that what's on everyone mind. If you only have one movie to see. This is the movie that you can't miss. Man can't wait. 5 days seems so far away.
What am I currently playing...
Mario kart wii. Love that game. It is not as good as Double Dash. But they made it up by ramping up thier multiplayer. For the first time in Mario Kart history that we can play with bots. (computer opponents). And these bots are not as easy as it looks. ZK_Azer(friend of mine) and me can lose badly at one point. We need more pratice. Good thing we are on the same team. It's like F1 but with karts.
What am I currently watching...
Since it summer, most of the shows are not up yet with the exception for a couple. Yesterday i watched the Season 2 premier of Burn Notice. Which I can say is the best show in history. You should check it out. I believe Season 1 DVD is already out. Other than that I can't wait for next week. One of the coolest cartoon in recent time is coming to an end. Avatar, the last Airbender is coming to a close after 3 season. I psych about the season finally. So psych that I stop watching the last 4 episode in order to wait for the finale.
Other stuff?
Well I need to lose weight. That a given fact. Other than that Im kind a in love with sushi. Yum. I just ate chicken Katsu Curry. Fried chicken with rice serve with Japanese curry. Japanese Curry is diffrent from Malaysian curry. More zing I guess...
Ok that enough chatter from me. Next Im going to do my review of Wanted.

My Vacation for the Year
As my friend just said just now. I go to Sarawak and didn't tell her. Lol... Well... Im telling now. Went there to kill 2 birds with one stone. Literary, I saw to birds at the airport and killed them with one stone. But I missed... (Okay I didn't do that, but would'nt it be a cool story). When there to visit my wifes relatives and the fact that we haven't been on holiday since 2 years. Might as well go there and enjoy the sites...
Day 1
Arrived. Staright went to a relatives house. Ate. When to the hotel and then when to her grandmothers house. Ate somemore.
Day 2
Woke up. When to have breakfast at a popular hangout over there. Ate somemore. Thanks to her 2 cousins for showing us around. Then we went to more relatives houses. Say hi, whatcha doing. The usual stuff. Ate here and there. At night when to a relatives house and you guess it. Ate.
Day 3
Today was interesting... Woke up early. Left the kid with her mom. And went to a 2 hour drive to a place called Gunung Gading. Its a park over there. Dont know if its a national park or not. We went there to bathe in the waterfall. Arrived around 11am. Had to pay 30 bucks for 5 people to go to the waterfall. The fricking waterfall was a 30 minute hike on the mountain. But for me it became a 1 hour hike. I was so not prepared for it. My body is set for normal crusing not 4x4 jungle trekking. I vomitted since I didnt ate anything for that day. So my body is really light headed. (I need to start to keep in shape). Finally arrive there. The place was so beautiful. The water was like 15 degrees. Cold... Brrr... The problem with it is the initial going down the water. After your down the body already adjusted itself. Hang there for 2 hours. Went down. Strangely down only took me 20 mins. LOL. Went for some food. Bought a very illegal item there. Apprently turtle eggs are common to everyone. But its illegal to buy them. So have to ask for it hush hush... I not a big fan of turtle eggs. Went home slept at 10pm
Day 4
Went around Kucing town. Sarawak is a very hot place. Plus the sun is up at 6am. Over my place 6am im still sleeping. But nightfalls at around 5pm. I think its so hot because its was near the equator. Ate here there and everywhere. Oh yeah, did some shopping as well. I didn't by any suvuniors for my friends... Sorry guys and gals... Next time kay
Day 5
Suprisingly did nothing. Hang out at aunts house. Went to ate at night.
Day 6
Packed and went home
Overall the experice was better then the first time I came. Probably there are people to take us around. Sarawak is a place where you need the locals to move about. If not you dont know where to go and what to eat... Now back to reality... Mmm cake... enjoy my food descripton down there.

3 July 2008
Well... This is what I ate there... Yum
This is going to be a long post. Plus with the pictures so technically is going to be a freaking huge post. So let's see where do I start. This is going to a problem from me since most of this words doesn't have an English counterpart. So bare with me folks...
Cendol
Well what is this. Is basically crush ice + condense milk with some kind of jelly. The jelly taste like gummy bears. Lol.
Mee Kolok
Ok, I know what are you thinking. What the heck is Kolok? Don't look at me. There are things even google can't explain. It's just what the sarawakian called. Its basically mee with beef/chicken soup serve with chilli in soy sauce. The thing that makes it so special is the mee itself and the soup. And I can't get it here... Sucks
C Special Tea
Or its call (teh C special). What the C stand for? Beat me But the taste it... yum. It just tea + condense milk and a special ingredient. It's (how the heck im going to expain this). Its cocount plam sugar (gu.la me.la.ka) underneath the glass. So we have to mix it all together. So the taste its like fusion.
Kampua Mee
By now you released that most of this names doesn't make sense. This is another variation of Mee Kolok but it a bit sweeter since they added the sweet kind of soy sauce. Serve with beef/chicken soup also. Man all this talk about food is making me hungry.
Roti canai Tuna
Roti Canai is basically dough that the thread into a flat bread. Tuna is the fish that we eat in sandwhic. Yum. Mixed those two together add a little balck pepper sauce + chilli + mayo and tada.... Just magnificient.
Special Water (Okay is not really that... Lol)
Is called Air Special. Air is water (pronouce -I.err- not air (as in the air we breathe...)). It is crush ice with watermelon, longan, peach, apple and pear with a litthe condense milk and little cherries of some sort. Good to drink on a hot day (which is everyday in sarawak).
Spicy Porridge
Bubur pedas as it called here. Its... I dont know what it is. But if you guys ever come to Sarawak you have to try this. Its like nothing I have ever taste before. The taste is indescribable. Really... Its a bit spicy with something else inside...
(editors note: Im countinuing from where I left off. Have to finish by today)
Fries with dip and fish sandwhich.
Ok, I know what are you thinking. How come this be a Sarawak delicacy. But there this fast food restaurant called Sugar Bun. I dont think it is available stateside. They serve their fries with pure cheese dip (artifitial cheese). Plus the fish sandwhich is just a normal fish sandwhich. Go figure. Lol
Ayam Pasoh (Bamboo Cooked Chicken)
This is what its describe. Chicken cooked in bamboo. Well they didn't have a real bamboo at the time. So they just use a pressure cooker. Still the same. It has 11 herbs and spices. So they say. Apprently is what the natives cook when they live in forest. So basically anything edible in the forest they just lug it in the bamboo.
Umai (Pickle shirmp)
It can be done with shrimp, squid almost any seefood availble. Not my cup of tea. But hey when you are at a foriegn country just try it once. If you dont like it dont try it again. Lol. They marinate the shrimp for quite a long time, so that where the tangy taste come from.
Went to a cake repository...
Ok this is not a thing i ate there. It looks interesting. At Sarawak, the most famous cake is called Sarawak Cake. It's a very delicate cake, baked in layers. A skilled baker (is that what they are called) can make intricate designs. It's like food art. Over here there is a house that makes this in a truck load. For the tourist. The taste is ok. Not great since they have machines to do this. There is even a place we can taste the cakes. Free food...
Mee belacan and Mee Jawa
Belacan is grind chilli (if i am not mistaken). So add hot water, and put noodles in the bowl and viola... Belacan mee. After eating a couple of bytes you'll be crying. Jawa Noodles is from Indonesia. Not that spicy but has a tangy taste. Enjoyable all together.
White Lady
This is a variation of the Special Water (Air special above). It has mango, peaches, longan and lychess. Crush ice + Syrup and Ribena. Don't know they don't have it here. Sounds easy enough to make. If you go there ask the Taxi driver to take you to Air Special Ah Kang. He'll know where is it. It the most famous store there. Can you belive a guy can make a living by selling ice.
Ayam Penyet
Penyet means crushed. But calling this dish crush chicken just sounds wired. It is fried chicken with grind chilli (belacan) serve with raw vegetables. Oh yeah and fragrent rice also. It's a special Indonesian dish serve by local peoplle over here.
Can you believe this is not real????
The durian that is on the palm of the hand may look real but in fact is paper!!! Yup paper. It's not the worlds smallest durian. Durian is the king of fruit in Malaysia. This old granny I visited made this out of paper. It's paper mache. Paper put in water and become a pulp. The thorns are also made of paper and are so sharp. You can actually hurt your fingers by touching it.
Sarawak Laksa
I think everybody who come to Sarawak will try this. Since this is the only thing that associate Sarawak with. The gravy is made with coconut milk, chicken stock and a special paste that is only found in Sarawak. The chicken is then taken out and serve separately. It's also available stateside. First you take the noodles, then add eggs, chicken, lime(for extra zing) and other seafood stuff also. This thing is so nice and will make you sleepy after eating more than one bowl. Like me. End the meal with fresh cut fruits and mango ice cream. Heaven.
A lock on time.... Get it...
A wall clock shape of a lock and key... nuff said.

But in the States its call shirmp. Or in my language is (u.dang). Lol. Well Bubba Gump is that guy who helps Forrest gump in the war. If you never watch Forrest Gump before you missing out on what great movie. Go rent it. So as the pictures below. From Up to down. Overall is was a nice experi

3)The third food that looks like a stackable babies toys is in fact actually Onion Rings. You heard me onion rings staked that high. How cool is that. Plus the dipping sauce is also yummy.

Sushi Groovy,,,
Im trying to update my blog as much as I can. So now I have the free time. I can update it with my 3rd favorite subject. Food... So lets see I went to Sushi groove a couple of times. This is where they serve Japanese Food but with added fusion. So you wont find normal Sushi King is stuff. Here are some of the pics.. Sorry about the quality. The ambiance of that place is dark. So my 2mp hp does'nt have flash.
This is unagi (eel) shaped like an (you guess it) Eel. How cool is that. Japanese Food is full with rice. Taste quite nice.
This is beef roll with cheese. Sounds good in concept. But doesnt taste that good. The cheese is kinda like artificial. I know, i know the picture sucks.
This is... Too dark... Lol... Iam not sure what is it... hmmm... Looks taste though...
Man... this is some crab type food. I really should start labeling my pictures. Lol...

Made of Honor and Get Smart
Ok, today Im doing a double feature of movie reviews. The first movie is a chick flick. Don't ask me why but something you just have to do something that you love once wants to see. Anyway the movie is a about this guy who best friends with this girl. And when the girl went away, he finally relaised that she is the prefect girl for her. But to her extend, she's got a new boyfriend. So she ask him to be the maid of honor(honour whichever you perfer). So he plans to sabatoge the wedding. This movie is a generic love story/comedy. The good thing is Michelle Monaghan is hot.
I gave this 3/5 hearts. Worth a rental.
Get smart is Next.
Okay who is the child of the 80's should have remembered Get Smart. With the quirky theme song. A shoe phone and other gadget's. It a James Bond esque kind of story. But it's a comedy. And that why is damn funny. Steve Carell (the office fame) is Maxwell Smart a data analyst for CONTROL who fights KAOS (apperently is not a short form of anything, guess they didnt know what to call them). Finally after years of taking the field test. He is finally becoming a field agent. And there is where the funny start. Some scene are just so funny I'll be spoiling the movie for you. Plus Anne Hathaway is damn hot. Is a crime that she that hot. Plus The Rock and Hiro Nakamura is also in this movie. Overall great movie experince. I got great seat at the last minute. Kewl indeed.
This deserve a 5/5 agents. Definitely one of the best comedies this year.
