On watching the Big Hero 6 in 3D

Since Monday evening i don't have conference call and i was not fully recovered from the Penang Bridge International Marathon - 10km run. I decided to pay a visit to TGV OneU to watch the Big Hero 6 in 3D.

Many of my friends said it is a good movie. As this is an animated movie, i have to get this off my list fast before the school holiday starts. Just don't want to share the cinema with those kids that asking lots of questions during the movie.

"Mom why like this, mom why like that"
"Dad see the tummy... "

Worse case is the Mommy and Daddy still reply to their kids... Sigh~

Anyway, back to the movie... Should i continue to tell the story. Hmmm... don't wanna to be the spoiler i think better not. Someone will be screaming if I continue to blog about the movie. Okay, i just stop with a trailer eh~

Go ahead and watch this movie, I personally think it is nicely done as an animation especially the white bit fat robot, Baymax. Oops~

On having ramen in KamiKaze Ramen-ya

More and more Ramen house in Kuala Lumpur... HungryGoWhere has come out the most tasty Ramen in Klang Valley. Do you agree with the rating?

Here are the top 7 Ramen house rated by HungryGoWhere

1. Ippudo Ramen @ Pavilion - KL
2. Menya Musashi @ Isetan One Utama - PJ
3. Bankara @ Avenue K - KL
4. Marutama Ramen @ Fahrenheit 88 - KL
5. Hokkaido Ramen Santouka @ Pavillion - KL
6. Bari-Uma @ Jaya Shopping Centre - PJ
7. Taiko Japanese cuisine @ Mont Kiara - KL

I have been to x out of 7. I found okay only. Some of them just cost a bomb. Which i found it normal with high price. One Ramen cost about RM25-RM40 per bowl. Expensive eh~

Anyway, I suppose to taste the so called the best Ramen in town which located in Pavillion. My friend invited to join him to taste this ramen. He gotten a voucher buy 1 free 1 ramen in Ippudo. Ended up he was on MC.

Guess what? I ended up in Kamikaze Ramen-ya in 1 Mont Kiara. Kamikaze means to make a suicidal crash attack. Doesn't sound good eh~ But the Ramen taste good and price is reasonable. So, it didn't seems KamiKaze to me.

Shiro KamiKaze (Pork Soup Ramen)

Take a close look at the CharShio

Juicy CharShio

Half and hour later...

Burp~ Yummy

I finished all the soup and left the bowl clean... Now you can see their logo and brand name. It's yummy but unfortunately they are not in the HungryGoWhere rating list which i think they are qualify to be one of the Ramen house in the list.

Razor Clam @ Don Hoi Lot, Thailand

How to hunt for Razor Clam...



I have been eating razor clam but don't have any idea how it's catch. When i saw the Sawasdee Station showing the Don Hoi Lot... It's so interesting... Maybe i should go to this place on my next visit to Thailand on next year between March to May.

Any of you been to Don Hoi Lot and try this?

Movie Marathon : 2 actions, 1 Horror

It has been long time i haven't run the Movie Marathon... Yes! I usually do this during winter back in Canada. I even do 3 movies back to back and sometime four movies. 

Movie Marathon within one day was very tired especially the eyes got tired and sometime if you are watching the thriller movie which need more focus / thinking... After these movie, your brain already drained. 

I was doing the Movie Marathon with my friend for the first time in Malaysia. We only managed to watch 2 movies back to back (Saturday night) and another one on the next day (Sunday night). 

Saturday Evening

We were watching Dracula Untold and Outcast back to back at The Strand, Kota Damansara. 

I think the Dracula Untold in IMAX might be very nice as he flied like a bat to fight for his people in the country he rules.

Outcast is sucks as the action was not interesting and the story line was not impressive too. Very plain and i nearly doze off. 

Sunday Evening 

We were watching Annabelle at Pavilion KL.

Annabelle scary... I think Conjuring more scary than Annabelle. The scary part was just so so with some scary part but not like Conjuring, the scary part continue to scary the audience. 

Anyway, it's a good Movie Marathon with my friends... And a good chill out for this long weekend. 

What are you doing for the past two days?

No more free ride @ Starbie...

Hey what do you mean free ride?... do you remember those days you can choose NOT to get a drink yet cannibalized the internet connection bandwidth with you huge "i" thingy... but today, all this free ride has called to a STOP... yup a big STOP for Starbie.

If you notice, accessing the internet connection on Starbie network needs code... a code that you can find in the bottom of the receipt...

Now,

1. Do not throw away your receipt after collecting your drink... You free internet connection is in this piece of paper.
2. One code per connection, if you have more than one device, too bad you have to drink two drinks... cause one code per device. 
3. One drink one code, one person one drink... Don't expect to have one person buy a drink and four person take the ride. 
4. Stop thick skin people whom just sit down and start skype with their family members away from home. You know who i'm talking about... (unfortunately i could not understand their language to further understand the conversation) It's will be interesting if i could understand their language. 

Good move Starbie eh~
Now we could eliminate those annoying free riders~

Bangkok Shutdown

The news of Bangkok Shutdown is getting more and more intensified as the date get closer to their planned election on Feb 2nd 2014. It's seems like the situation is getting more tension when it just begin...

I have a chat with my friend from Bangkok via Whatsapp and he is feeding me some latest situation in Bangkok including the picture that he took at Victory Monument Central Bangkok. He did not participate on the protest, he is continue to stay with his daily work life...

Picture sent by Friend in Bangkok

I hope Bangkok can get back its peacefulness as soon as possible and the business can resume as normal.

Kangkung a.k.a Water Spinach

you may call this joke of the week, Joke for easing Monday Blues, or Joke of the day... When every single creative way of expression on KANGKUNG made me ROTFL. 

This is what happen?

Our lovely Malaysian Prime Minister use Kangkung to express his view and comment on the price hike    on all the price like Petrol, Toll and staple food in Malaysia. This has cause the nation not happy with what his decision. 

In one of the event, he told the public as Malaysian we only complain the price of goods raise and no one actually say thanks to the government when a price of Kangkung dropped recently. It's not fair... Something like that. 

So few hours after his statement... The Facebook flooded with all kind of jokes about Kangkung...  here is one of the example regarding the joke about McKangkung... 

Adapted from Malaysia insider

and many more creative Kangkung related material. Visit all the Facebook Page~

Anyway, we know the year 2014 might be a tough year for Malaysia but one word i would like to share with every Malaysian Reader... Enjoy~

McAloo Tikki

Are you keen to try this McAloo Tikki? Now available in McDonald's Singapore all the way from India. When i WIKI McAloo Tikki, I got to know Aloo Tikki is a snack made out of Potatoes and Spice which originated from Northern India.

Guess what? I also found this in WIKI
"The McAloo tikki burger, a trademark of McDonald's served at McDonald's restaurants in India, UAE and other countries with large Indian populations, is not a true representation of the traditional food"

Now, Singapore has been recognized with Large Indian Population by McDonald's. When will McAloo Tikki be in Malaysia? Hmmm... maybe not cause Malaysia is truly Banglasia Not India... Muhahaha :p

Despicable Me 2 : Operasi grabbing McD minions is here again...

Are you ready for another 2 minions release today?

Picture from Mcdonalds' Malaysia Facebook page

I'm planning to get up early and grab the happy meal brekkie for myself. I have to get 4 sets of happy meal... I don't think i need to have lunch tomorrow as i have 4 sets of Happy Meal Brekkie.

Let's see whether i could get these two minions...

MyFitnessPal

Clam Chowder - 500 calories 
FRIDAYS signature drink Mudslide - 270 calories
Roasted Pork and Char Siew rice - 1050 calories 

Wow~ all those nice food have such a high calories count. I wondered how those people whom has nice 6 packs eats. Are they eating like a tweety birdie?

Let me introduce you to MyFitnessPal, my very best pal that tell me whether I exceeded my daily calories limit. How it tracks?

1. Key into the system your targeted weights in kg/lb in how many weeks (e.g. target 74kg in 5 weeks)
2. Report out your age, heights and weights in the system
3. A limit of allowable calories will be shown in the daily input screen, like mine is 1270 calories per day
4. Every time when you reported what you have eaten, you could either search from the existing database or create your own
5. Exercise have to report out as the output of calories. It is use to contra with the calories inputted
6. At the end of each day, the daily report will show either +ve or -ve calories.

This application has given my friends and I the awareness of how much calories that we have taken. We have a sync up session every day to monitor each other calories input... I have been +ve all the time but once a while -ve. So i should be able to achieve my goal 74.8kg if i continue to have +ve calories for 5 weeks.

So, you can start tracking your calories input... :)

Operasi Mencari Minions kat Singapura

Last Friday I kicked started the operasi mencari Minions after knowing a lot of people has gotten their Minions from McD. Guess what? McD in the valley has put on their big sign SOLD OUT... no more Minions in the happy meal. I wondered how the kids think? They must be cursing those adult who bought the happy meal and got the Minions.

Minions set in McD Happy Meal

One of my friend has drawn the conclusion... Happy Meal in McD no longer a kids meal. Lots of adult are lining up for the happy meal toy. For instance, people in the island of Singapore queued up for HELLO KITTY. so what next? The minion is going to the island.

People in Singapore, are you ready for Minions?
People in Singapore, are you ready for Minions?
People in Singapore, are you ready for Minions?

Hmmm... now that Singapore is going to start the happy meal with Minions today, should i expand my Operasi Mencari Minions down to the island *still thinking*

What do you think?

Japanese Meal day with the Minions

No!!!... Nothing special in Japan nor any Japan/Japanese related special day. It's the day i had Japanese Food. My friend and I having Japanese Meals for Lunch and Dinner. So today we declared our day as Japanese Day.

@11:00, Pick up my friend from his place to have lunch @ Paradigm Mall... I was wearing a bumblebee glass imported from Singapore. How's it? Cool?

TZ on Bumblebee Glass... Cool Eh~

@11:45, we walked in to Miraku Paradigm Mall... My friend saw the Sunday Buffet advertisement long time back when we came out from Fitness First Paradigm. Good strategy to attract hungry and tired gym goer after they have their hard workout. The served different type of sashimi and sushi... also those type of non raw japanese food. It's quite authentic... but the price is a bit high for a simple Japanese buffet.

Japanese Buffet @ Miraku, Paradigm Mall

@14:00, meeting another friends to watch Despicable Me 2. Watching those cute little yellowish Minions... but it turns purple in the middle of the movies :p Yellow vs Purple, which one you like? Oops i better stop here otherwise sure got people scold me for being a spoiler. *mouth zip*

Despicable Me 2

@16:00, after the movie... chill in Pacific Coffee @ UG paradigm mall. The outlet was full of people but we were lucky to grab a nice sofa seat by the windows. Catching up with my two fellow buddies. This is a very enjoyable moments to chit chat about work, things outside work etc...

@18:00, decided to have a early dinner before sending my friend to the airport. We had Ramen @ Goku Raku, Paradigm. The Ramen was quite nice, since we had a heavy lunch, we chose to have a small Ramen. Yummy~

@20:30, stopped by McD @ Taman Warisan Salak Tinggi hoping to get the three little minions... guess what? it's a disappointed moment to see the word "SOLD OUT" stick on top of the three minions. Operasi Mencari Minions FAILED again. Sigh~

Totally SOLD OUT on the three minions

Anyway, my day ended when i reached home safely and took a nice shower~
