How to train your Dragon

Apr 2nd, 2010 by papabear

This was the first movie that the 3 of us watched at the cinema. The movie was full of laughter, many suspense, a bit of romance and lots of fiery but cute dragons… cute like dogs…

This was how the story went:

Hiccup is the son of the Chief, Stoick the Vast, on the island of Berk. Hiccup’s village is plagued by dragons, which raid the village and steal from their stock of sheep. Hiccup works as an apprentice to the blacksmith, Gobber the Belch.

One night during a dragon raid, Hiccup hits the never-before-seen Night Fury dragon with an automatic net launcher that he built himself, but nobody else in the village sees it. Attempting to get proof, Hiccup travels into the forest where the dragon may have fallen. He comes to a small canyon and sees the Night Fury tangled in his net. After struggling with himself, Hiccup can’t bring himself to kill the helpless dragon and sets it free…

The rest, go and watch the movie yourself… Kalau cerita semua, tak best la kan….

In summary, you can say that dragons are man’s (and woman’s) best friend…

I highly recommend that you watch this with your family or friends… If alone, better watch at home arr…

Taking Pasha to the Movie

Mar 28th, 2010 by papabear

On Saturday, we decided to take Pasha to the movie for the first time. He is almost three now and we thought that it would be the right time to take him to the cinema. Furthermore, we, ourselves have not been to the movie for more than 3 years now… That’s a long time. Downloaded movies watched at home could never beat the excitement of the big screens at the cinemas…

Before the movie started, we went for lunch at the Gerobak, an Indonesian cafe located just at the entrance of the Cathay Cineplex at Cineleisure. The empek-empek kapal selam and the teh botol were excellent but the fried chicken and sayur asem were not that good. My pangsit was quite okay though… Pasha loved the empek-empek!

Here is photos of Pasha enjoying his popcorn while waiting for the show to begin. Pasha really liked the salty popcorn. I did not get him the sweet version as he might get super hyper in the cinema… Looking at the popcorn containers, looked like Malaysians preferred the sweet to the salty popcorn… No wonder we need to have campaigns about taking less sugar…

Oh no! Grumpy bear! That is a photo of me forgetting to smile… duh… It was an exciting day and I was not quick enough to smile… duh… Nevertheless, we had Pasha doing all the smiling… That would be good enough then… And yes, we went to watch Dragon, without the 3D. We did not think that Pasha was ready for the 3D glasses…. RM200 if you damaged them… Giler…

Finally, we got into the cinema. Yeah, I missed the smiling moment again… double duh… Pasha was quite comfortable for the first 30 minutes, got a bit restless during the next 30 minutes and lost focus throughout the movie after that… The last position he was at was at the stairs playing with a girl who happened to lose focus as well…

Well… Anyway, Dragon was an excellent movie. You should go and watch it.

Not bad for part time blogging ha!

Thanks Nuffnang!

Shutter Island

1954. U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Boston’s Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital. He’s been pushing for an assignment on the island for personal reasons, but before long he wonders whether he hasn’t been brought there as part of a twisted plot by hospital doctors whose radical treatments range from unethical to illegal to downright sinister. Teddy’s shrewd investigating skills soon provide a promising lead, but the hospital refuses him access to records he suspects would break the case wide open. As a hurricane cuts off communication with the mainland, more dangerous criminals “escape” in the confusion, and the puzzling, improbable clues multiply, Teddy begins to doubt everything – his memory, his partner, even his own sanity.

Boleh pening jugak tengok citer nih…

In the end? What’s real and what is not? Is he really a Marshall or just one of the patients or something else..?

Watch it to find out.

Fans of Leonardo DiCaprio should look for this movie.

Love bites

Ouch! I was watching the American Idol a few days back and they were doing the Rolling Stones stuffs. Suddenly, it reminded me to one of the songs that I used to listen to a lot during my first few months living in the US... Agak agak jiwang la zaman tuh... Well, it has got nothing to do with Rolling Stones though... It's just about some of those good old years memories...

Enjoy Love Bites by Def Leppard.



If you've got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites

When you make love, do you look in the mirror?
Who do you think of?
Does he look like me?
Do you tell lies?
And say that it's forever?
Do you think twice, or just touch and see?
Ooh babe
Oh yeah
When you're alone, do you let go?
Are you wild and willin', or is it just for show?
Ooh C'mon

I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it
No!

Chorus
(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
It's no surprise
(Love begs, love pleads)
It's what I need

When I'm with you, are you somewhere else?
Am I gettin' thru or do you please yourself?
When you wake up, will you walk out?
It can't be love if you throw it about
Ooh babe

I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
Oh

Chorus
(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
It's no surprise
(Love begs, love pleads)
It's what I need

(Guitar Solo)

Oh yeah!

I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it
No!

(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)

(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
It's no surprise
(Love begs, love pleads)
It's what I need

If you've got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites

Never ending project

Mar 16th, 2010 by papabear

It was supposed to end in February 2010 but it did not…

Then they committed to end it by the end of March 2010… That would not happen either…

That’s one of my current project… Project DeeElPee.

Project for people who are full of gas and oily stuffs…

Last time they were always talking about granularity…

The Italian talked about it. The Honkee or are they called Hong Konger? Anyway, they talked about it too.

The Singaporeans talked about it… and the Indians as well…

Soon enough, the Malaysians like it too…

Granularity.

Then things got so mixed up. Mixed up to a point where we were having meeting of minutes…

So, someone took minutes in the meeting of minutes… Strange but true…

Recently, it was a lot about false positive…

You look positive. False…

Are things positive?

Things look like they are getting worse when we started trying to send emails via attachments…

So now we use an attachment to send an email with attachments…

But looks can be deceiving…

Things are getting better.

It might not make sense.

To you.

LHDN gave me CP500

What a surprised! I didn’t even now that there was such an income tax form called CP500. Macam macam la dorang ni nak ambil duit kita… After google-ing it, I found out that CP500 is more applicable to those with side incomes.. Incomes that came from selling insurance policies, multilevel marketing and anything of that sort…

I was asked to pay RM380.oo in 6 installments… Sesuka hati mak bapak dorang je…

So, I called up the Customer Service Center at 1-300-88-3010 to seek some clarification. The first question that the person asked was whether I do have any side income or not… I do not consider blogging as a source of side income and therefore I said no…

He then as me to wait for him to check something and after a while he came back and said that my CP500 form has been cancelled…

Hmm…

So, if you are also one of the lucky Malaysians who received CP500 form and you do not have any side income, make sure you call them to verify it’s status…
