Movie Review ------> Wall E!!!!

Hohoho! Finally my turn to review this movie!
Initially not knowing anything I was in fact confused Wall E for Short Circuit's Johnny 5!
And it's because of writing this review then I did some research and found out that they are different! Way light years different.

Because we were late so we kinda missed like 25 mins of the show. But still manage to pick up along the way.

The story line is pretty simple, It is said that 2110 that Earth was too toxic for humans to stay on so they leave earth and stayed in a space ship, Axiom (a'la Noah's Ark concept) and one Wall E unit (our main "unlikely" hero) is left behind. It's only when year 2815, almost seven hundred years later, Axiom send a probe robot Eve to earth to look for living form and Wall E's advanture begin by following Eve back to Axiom. Which leads to tonnes of disasters and also crowned our unlikely hero become the hero that saves the day!

Phew!!! I 'nearly' review everything didn't I? Go watch yourself la!!
I can only say 4 words, cute, amazing, education and brilliant! After all this movie is really really suitable to bring kids to watch along (I bring 2 :p) and to start them young to love mother earth or we'll simply need robots like Wall-E to clean up the mess.

Notably, you can see how human has 'evolved' after technology takes over alots of daily applications.

To write this little review, I have to do some homework (as usual). I was a bit upset to come to know that the release date cos in the States and Canada, they'd release this movie as early as end of June 08!! While we have to wait for another 1.5 months? Hello??? Explanation please?? Potong stim kau kau!

But ok lah since it's out, so go n watch lo. And think deeply about giving earth a second chance ;)




My Meatless week so far....

I must say I am proud of my progress, it's been a week now since I started my 'meatless diet'. Things are going good, simply because of this my skin complexion got better and also I lose 1kg out of this simple act!!! On top of that bad breath also gone cos my body is less acidic!

Below are some suggestion of what you can have as a substitution of 'just meaty stuff' or rather what I had over the weekend. :)


Fish porridge with lots of fish cake and fish ball in it.


Goes really well with a Hainam style Teh Tarik.

All time favourite Lui cha!!
(Jo, how come you shoot my tummy one?)

Now this one is really special, Sushi salad roll.
Consist of mangkuang, cucumber, beetroot and also rolled in seaweed, all organic.

Comes with a special sauce.

One thing also throughout my diet, I involved some organic vege in it.
Why? They are simply more nutritious! Usually we just need to pay a slightly extra more to get those extra nutrition, which I think it's all worth it. Also eating organic veg, you tend to chew more times than usual due to their texture are slightly different from other veg which is good for our facial muscles and also our teeth.

I must say I'm still not consider a vegan or anything, but this kind act brings a few benefits:

  • Better Health (doh!)

  • Better Emotional state at all times, less angry, less agitated (Try meatless a week and notice your temper!! Works for me!!!)

  • Reduce global warming (less meat intake = less market demand = less poultry sacrifices = less land to rare these animals!!)
To meat or not to meat? The choice is yours.
Stay Peace!

Can't Smile without you? You = Who?

Can't Smile without you- Barry Manilow

You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who would have believed that you were part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away

And now you know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile

Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well, I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me

And you see I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel glad when you're glad
I feel sad when you're sad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

Funny to find myself falling in love with this song. It's a very nice old song by Barry Manilow. I only came to know this song from Hellboy 2 (nice movie must watch!!), when Abe secretly played this song in the library but was then later discovered by Hellboy himself. And He's trying to hide the fact that he is in love with Princess Nuala (go watch the whole thing la then you know what I'm bragging about :p ). Then in the end both of them end up having that song repeated 1000 times and both of them drunk with beer. Check out the video what I am describing :)



Humans are just so funny and strange. Now I find myself in a situation consistently improving myself and looking forward to my next relationship but then again the Ironic part is I know myself well enough not to 'settle down' ie have a stable, solid relationship yet. Always have this phobia lately but again longing for a companionship. What wrong with me?

Hard to say.. hard to say.. welcome for feedback. I don't mind harsh words I can take it. :)

New place for a caffeine injection

Yesterday after my dinner I decided to drop by at the Starbucks at SS2 which is pretty near to my house. It's brand new and it's like the whole SS2 resident is begging for a Starbucks in SS2 (I know I did :p).

It's a 2 story shop style and really cozy feeling. Check out the pictures below!

This is the entrance/ ground floor.

This is the upstairs which is pretty chilled.

After this door is the balcony /open air for puffers

My usual Caramel Frappucino Coffee Blended with whip cream venti size. I only manage to get the name correct last night after a few years of Starbucks (shameful :p). Cos usually I'll just go in and say,"Yeah I need a caffeine injection, get me that caramel something with the coffee based one, with whip cream on top and venti size."


Fav drink and the book I am currently reading Book of Secrets - Deepak Chopra. I only can read this book in places like this cos my place is simply too noisy!! Hard to calm my mind down and read. And it's Hard to read I admit it :p

There you go caffeine shot!

I only stayed there for a lengthy 1.5 hours then later tonnes of people coming in so it became more n more chaotic and again I'm done with my drink. So cabut lo..







My Meatless Week, Day 3

Guess what I got for today again? Bananas!!!
But Why bananas? Because it's good, simple, nutritious, economical and filling! Why not?

I got this in cold storage yesterday, cost me a hefty RM6.39. But so what? 2 bananas = 1 meal and there's like 6 of them with me ie RM6.39/6= less than 1 dollar per banana? So if you wanna like have a recession proof diet I seriously think having some bananas is a part of the solution (not all :p).

See how much value for money this can be?


And this is what I have for dinner! Hotplate seafood and rice, at station kopitiam in cineleisure. Again no meat!
