Movie Review : Max Payne, Bangkok Dangerous, Disaster Movie

3 in 1 Entry. Hehe.

These are the 3 movies i've watched for the past couple of weeks. I just dont have time to review it all. L insist that I need to review it all. Hmm.. Maybe its because I was pre occupied with other things.. Especially the new house thing. Hmm..

Moving on, I rate these 3 movies a 3/5. Ok but not that Ok. Hehe.
I did played Max Payne game before in PC. I just dont have time to finish it. I pretty much have high expectation for this movie. It turned out that it was just another game-to-movie thing. Remember Hitman? Sometimes, it better just end it in the game. GAME OVER should i say.

The most important thing when watching this kind of movie, you need to know most of the movies being mocked in the movie. Other than that, you also need to know who the hell is Amy Winehouse, JT. Hehe. Have you watched Superbad? Or Cloverfield? Else, you might ended with 'Apa benda la cite nie, lawak bangang'. Most probably there are scenes that FINAS cut off as well. Huhu.

The only reason why I watched this movie is Nic Cage. Huhu. Other than that, there's nothing special in this movie. Just a simple Hollywood (or should I say Thaiwood) kind of movie. I prefer Jason Bourne's movies. Huhu.

Eeunderground : Beli Rumah

Entry berbahasa Melayu.. Huhu..

Sejak 2 menjak ni memang xleh fokus buat kerja.. Asyik pikir pasal rumah je.. Ntah la tetiba terpikir nak beli rumah. Sebab utama sebab nak kawen da kot.. huhuhu.. xnak la da kawen nanti duk sewa rumah dalam 800-1000, padahal leh beli rumah and bayar bulan2 dalam jumlah tu gak..

Why now? aku rasa its now or never.. Economy tgh down skg.. Priority aku nak cari rumah yg da siap or da nak siap. Sebab Malaysia bakal2 menjadi another 1998-1999 krisis ekonomi. Time tu tetiba semua construction apa2 pn stop. Orang predict krisis ni akan lama.. So, its now or maybe after 2-3 years..

Selepas consult beberapa senior and rakan2 kat ofis nie. Mostly sependapat yg better cari rumah yang landed. Ade gak pendapat yg gtau watpe nak cari rumah jauh2, kalau kerje kat KL?

Pagi nie, aku telah buat satu benda yg patutnya aku buat lama dahulu. Tanya geng2 EEuG aku. Actually, aku mmg da lama nak tanye.. Cuma aku bab2 ni aku rasa x nak kecoh2. Its like saying that 'Aku ada byk duit, aku nak beli rumah!'

Tapi hari nie.. Aku rasa kawan2 EEuG tau aku jenis camna.. x suka menunjuk2.. And jarang minta tolong orang lain melainkan benda2 tu da memang desperate sgt. Indeed, I'm desperate.

Thanks to yoz, dagu, wong, topek for all their suggestions. Aku rasa aku da leh buat decision. hopefully by next week aku da x nak pk pasal rumah lagi..

Buying a property

Should I or shouldn't I? I have to decide this. Please help. Hehe.

Apparently there is an apartment available at Setapak for 240k. Expensive huh? Probably because it is near to KLCC. 4 rooms and 2 bathrooms. 1166 sq.ft is the size.

Other option is to buy landed house. The only concern would be the distance to the workplace. I can get a 2 story Terrace house at Bangi for the same price though. Emm.. 4 rooms, 3 bathrooms. 1799 sq.ft.

But still, I need to go Mid valley this weekend. There will be a property showcase there. Maybe after that I'll decide.

Movie Review : The House Bunny


Imagine, you have 2 choice of 2 stupid movies : House Bunny or Disaster Movie, which one would you choose?

Hehe. I've watched Epic movie, Date Movie as well as Meet the Sparta. What I can say is that, they are all the same. Lame jokes and some not funny at all! 

I guess thats answer my question above. I chose House Bunny. Scary movie's Anna Faris is in this movie. She also starred in Epic Movie. Probably the 'Bunny' thing kinda enlighten me though. If y'know what I'm sayin'. Hehe. I'm quite surprise its a 'U' movie. "Sesuai untuk tontonan umum". Do those guys actually do their classifying movies in their right way?

Enough of that, lets move on to the storyline. Shelley, a playboy bunny forced to move out from the playboy mansion. Sad and depressed, she ended to a high school sorority home. There were already 7 high school girls in that house. Apparently, their sorority is for the 'Outsiders' only. Or should I say 'Losers'. Shelly mission is to perform 'extreme makeover' for all the 7 girls so that their sorority become popular and doesn't need to be demolished. 

What will happened? See for yourself. Huhu.

Moan of the movie
The 'U' rating. Totally inappropriate. Do you expect children and elderly to find this kind of movie interesting?

Moment of the movie
The results of the extreme makeover. Hehe. Interesting enough, the girls suddenly very attractive indeed. Thanks for the clothes and the makeup though. Huhu.

Rating
3/5  (not that stupid after all..Hehe)

Oil Price

Notice that the oil price is now USD70++. Perhaps this is a good news for us consumers. Earlier this week, Malaysia Gov just reduced the petrol/diesel price. That's the 3rd time in 2 and a half months. Just want to emphasize how the rapid decline of oil price affect our petrol price.

What about oil and gas company? Its actually plays a crucial role in O&G projects. In this industry, in order to embark to a drilling campaign we need to do some cost estimate. The estimation would be based on current price of facilities, services and most important thing, Crude Oil Price!

Imagine, earlier this year during crude price of USD120++, suddenly lots of projects emerged. O&G giants rushed for land acquisition throughout the world. Well of course, during that time the price is USD120++. The estimate for the revenues of course are positive. 

What will happened to those projects that estimated to be positive during that time (USD120) now? Most probably they will undergo another re-estimation for cost. There's high possibility the projects now become negative! Which is not economical to proceed. 

No projects, no oil&gas, no revenues, low production, higher demand. Then? Price will be raise again. Hmm..

Hari Raya 2008


Fav pic. Hehe.

Danish Meet Unc-Al Hussien

Marriott Bombing - Story






It was around 8.00 PM Pakistani time. I was having dinner/iftar with fellow Malaysians at the Malaysian Embassy. The mood is great. In fact, we are all dressed in Baju Kurung and Baju Melayu. There would be a Hari Raya recording session after Isyak at the Embassy. Ironic isn't it?

As we were having our dinner, 'Boom!'. A loud explosion sound silenced the crowd. In fact, we felt the tremor and the wind blows towards us. The Embassy is just around 2 KM from Marriott.

People at the embassy shocked! Moms and Dads searching for their childrens. Bosses started dialing thier phones. We first thought it was a Supermarket that blown up. The market is favourite spot for foreigners/expatriate do their shopping. Bear in mind that foreigners/expatriate that I am talking about is also Malaysians.

Soon after that, the real story popped out. My friend managed to used his phone and surf Yahoo News. 'BREAKING NEWS : MARRIOTT ISLAMABAD BLAST'.

At that time, I'm speechless. I was there 2 weeks earlier. 3 nights stay. Imagine what would happened if the blast was 2 weeks earlier. In fact, I was planning to stay there for my 3 months attachment. Alhamdulillah, my boss invited me to stay at his residence. If not?

Later we learnt that the suicide bomber blown himself at the security post with a truck loaded 600kg of TNT.

The next morning, I was told the building beside Marriott also damaged. Talking about collateral damaged huh? FYI, the building beside Marriot is Evacuee Trust Complex. A business office building which my office is also in it.

I never thought that the explosion will produce such a catastrophic shockwave that it managed to break all the glass windows at ETC. Not only the windows, the offices is also damaged. Roofs fall down. Doors collapsed. Even concrete wall also not spared. Alhamdulillah, there were no one at the office during the explosion. My bosses' offices heavily damaged. Just see for yourself.

This kind of events makes you wonder. Makes you think about Death. How much have you done in Dunia. Is it enough for Akhirat?
