KOF






Legend Of The Fist: Legend Of Chen Zhen (2010)






Piranha 3D Trailer HD ---- A triller in 3D!






Reign of Assassins






RED See Grandpa and Granny kicking ass. Now thats refeshing






Solomon Kane Like a game come true






Megamind






TRON LEGACY






City Under Siege Rather than the usual police-gangster genre, here is a sci-fi starring Aaron Kok. Hard to say how sci-fi this is, with no trailers available yet. Here is the "making of the movie".






The Social Network The story behind Facebook? Even this can be made into a movie? Ha. The trailer is kinda of crappy..






「SPACE BATTLESHIPヤマト」 This somehow looked 凄い! Never seen the show before, but even I know it is well known among Anime fans.






See more at Yahoo Movies, although I've already picked out all the action of the year from there already




Under $20 buffets

Something not too pleasant




One of the tech industries best kept (dirty) secret. Very sad. Almost all of us have no idea, with all the technology around us that we take for granted, myself included, before this video.

"Want to see something cool?"


<a href="http://www.joost.com/3c61v38j">The Green Hornet (Trailer)</a>


Not actually cool(by my standards), this is Jay's first Hollywood break. Thought he was doing Ip Man 3? But I kinda like his accent on : "Want to see something cool?". (Jay's magic ) What? Stephen Chow was initially planned for KATO(Jay's role)? This alone is making me laugh already! Imagine superimpose Stephen Chow with Jay in the trailer! LOL~!

Hmm the trailer, it doesn't even come across as average. The protaganist doesn't have deep enough "ah-I've-come-to-my-senses-to-do-good" expression with the likes of Spiderman or Ironman. Oh boy, poor Jay. I just can't see this breaking box-offices.




Neko 勝負

This is pretty lame, but oh well... just love the part when they 'poke' the fish!

YOG Pre-paid cards


Prepaid cards わ庶民みかたです! For Otakus who don't have credit cards, these are a saver to buy that online figurine/CD/DVD, etc...




If it is Yui or Ritsu on the cards, I would get it...






Actually I like credit cards quite a lot (nevermind it has landed quite a few of my friends in trouble ). These little plastics are cool and convenient, and almost everyone of it sports a very nice design. I googled a little and found quite a lot of very nice designs not found in Singapore, Olympic related..








This is not credit card, oh well.. Fuwa also sounds Japanese, don't they?

"Kinect" is what they call it now










OH, should I get the XBOX to complete my game console collection? If it can give me a better experience than I am having for Force Unleased on Wii, wah, I might really buy this. Far from complete, the training for Jedi is.

Will this spell the beginning of the end of Wii, whose Nintendo has not come up with anything but a 3D-DS?




Bill makes a speech


While Steve is making iPhones, Bill is saving the planet.




It's a half-an-hour long video, but I love to promote GREEN tech to save our world. Yeah there are worst things that could happen, than our Orchard road flooding. Much worse And what do I want to say..... nice headset

Genting trip


This is my first (real) vacation with my family in more than 6 years, even if it's Genting, I'm excited! I somehow feel apologetic now, using "even if it's Genting", because Genting has become quite a different place from where I've been to before. It's become so big, even the indoor area is like a small city by itself! I kept getting lost while walking around, and a lot of stores have they added! I didn't even get to the outdoor theme park during my short 2 days there!



最初のわ, あの果てしなく. This endless, endless forest is the only scenery along the North-south highway.












I saw mountain!





I saw Genting Highlands!
Genting Highlandsよ!











Resort World!
From our hotel window,


Yes, this is Malaysia! Yes it's Malaysia still!




Cable Car!



お土産!


Don't worry Miharu, I didn't forget yours!


Miharu will love these stickers!


And these!







Cooking Mama!


Indoors
Indoor snow world!



Aaah! Karaoke だ!



You buy one of these cards to go into the "Karaoke boxes", to use them like any other arcade machines




For chinese songs, they have their original MVs!

The interface program, as you've seen is ar....ahem. They have Malay, English and Chinese songs. NO Japanese songs! It's RM2 a song btw. For that instant Karaoke relief!


The Studio K Family Karaoke (not much info on the net) shown in the first pic, is the more commonly found karaoke outlet type. It's basic rate is RM80/session, I also forgot, something like that lah Didn't get to try it out, maybe next time with friends.






Next, Capsules machines!


It is my first try, and I got ...... my fav Mari-chan! I am not bluffing, first try serious! If only my casino luck is this good




The special 'token' that you have to change at the counter. Each of this costs RM4. There are 2 separate machines, one is based on EVA1.0, the other EVA2.0. The EVA2.0 machine needs 3 tokens for one capsule, while the EVA1.0 needs only one.


See the groves at the slots




Ring and bangle watches. The bangle watches make great gifts.










You could save some money, and some inconveniences even, if you do some research beforehand. Malaysia's Xpax prepaid cellphone service is really affordable, at RM9 for a starter sim card with RM5 value. Additional top-up cards can be bought at RM10(minimum). If you had a smartphone (or a 3G dongle to attach to your laptop), you could get connected for RM6 a day (you would probably spend more than that at cyber cafes in an hour or two).

Settings for dongle: The APN name for Celcom Broadband is “celcom3g” and the number to dial is *99#.







When I saw this Kaeru magnet, I just have to buy it for Misaka. Hmmm problem now is, how do I get it to her?
