Happy New Year 2013 - Bye Bye 2012

    The year 2012 passes like a bullet. 365 days just like a piece of peanut “Now You See Now You Don't. Where it went? What we did? What is going on? Everything we will only realized it today –The End of Day of 2012. We will always carry the lessons of the past with us and looks confidently towards future. What happened in past has always been a memorable one whether it is sour or sweet.

    The year 2012 starts with new relationship and new lifestyle in me. The life after marriage is considered one of the most challenging activities in everyone life. Of course there is a lot more to come but the moments of going through it is something extraordinary. One will always felt frustration and also happiness facing it but smiling later on thinking about it over and over again. Correct GUYZ! Responsibilities, Commitment & Understanding have always been main subject for “The Life after Marriage”.

    Many interesting things happen in 2012. There are weddings, functions, vacation, visiting’s and many more to be named. House, job, financial and families have always been like a test in life. Each individual have their own life and method on how to face it I guess. Each challenges brings us together and each accomplishment makes us stronger & stronger.

    On every New Year day, we will always organize a party in KL together with my brother but not this year. This New Year celebration, we are having a pot luck dinner at friends house which I will upload it on the next blog.

    I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy New Year 2013. Let’s hope our dreams come true on the next wonderful years. Friends, Relatives, Families & All - ENJOY LAH!
BYE BYE 2012. Thanx for reading.

Bibiwok Nyonya & Thai Cuisine on Christmas eve

    Having Tomyan Thai food on Christmas eve was something unexpected but we just wanted to try something new for dinner. We were just driving around Puchong (jalan-jalan cari makan)  until we passed by this restoran BIBIWOK Nyonya & Thai cuisine . It is situated at Bandar Puteri Puchong, near to Hong Leong Bank Bandar Puteri and next to BumbuBali restoran.

    The food was good especially the tomyan seafood, almost similar to Krabhi Thailand style (I have eaten before at Krabi Thailand). The Thai “paprik” chicken style is consider a right choice and a good combination with  Tomyam Seafood. Those who just wanted to give a try a good delicious tomyan thai soup, then I surely will recommend this shop.

Thai Padprik Chicken & Tomyan Seafood

    There are always hidden cost such as the tissues & tidbits but if you are going there for the food, then don't bother. No comment on the food. Simply good. MERRY CHRISTMAS! ENJOY!

"Life of Pi"- The Movie (2012)

    Award winning director Ang Lee came back again with an unknown box movie “ Life of Pi”. Ang Lee - previous famous movie "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" is consider one the most leading and most award winning director in the world.

    To be frank, the movie visual effects are eye popping especially on 3D effect. A superb 3D imaginary life cycle on the journey across Pacific Ocean with a Bengal tiger called Richard Parker was like watching Discovery Channel at Pacific Ocean on HD. The special effect were stunning and you will realize 100% on the hard work and creativity by the technical group and director towards the completion of this Ang Lee’s “Life of Pi”. The story telling is outstanding until you will understand at the end the moral of the stories and some interesting story twisting.
WATCH THE TRAILER BELOW FROM YOUTUBE.

      Having zero expectation and zero knowledge before watching the movie  is fun and guys you will enjoy it BUT on 3D effects. The price at GSC IOI Mall is RM17.00  including 3D glass. The movie is OK for children too. Thank You for reading.

 Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert called the film a “miraculous achievement of storytelling” and deamed it one of the year’s best films.

Singapore Trip-World Largest Aquarium ...

    Trip to Singapore was a new experience since I'm visiting the lion country after 20 years. The only thing I remember 20 years ago was a small MUSTAFA shopping centre. I do not have the change to visit MUSTAFA mall this time and it is actually of the most famous 24hr shopping mall in Singapore now. Few famous places "A MUST" visit in Singapore are the UNIVERSAL STUDIOS , LARGEST AQUARIUM, FLYERS(big wheel) & MARINA BAY (top view).

    S E A Aquarium , consider the largest aquarium viewing pannel  in the world and has hundreds types of species such as manta rays and hammerhead sharks. The ticket price is $29 and it is located right next to the Universal Studios and Casino. Enjoy the photos at world largest oceanarium below. 
   

WORLD LARGEST OCEANARIUM

    For those interested on Universal Studios, the price is $74 (RM185.00). My advice is to go there as early as its opens because it is a whole day event which includes outdoor theme park. Not to be miss the transformer 3D. I dun have the chance to enter because of heavy downpour and it's too late.

   Another important place is the Singapore flyers, the world largest giant ferries wheel. One full round will take approximately half an hour and it cost at $29 per person. One can view the beautiful Singapore Island by taking the ride especially at night.

    Above is just a blog tips for those who wants to have holiday in Singapore. IT IS REALLY REALLY EXPENSIVE IN SINGAPORE. Thanks for reading and feel free to comments.
RATE: $100 = RM250

Which TV to buy? Plasma or LCD or LED

     Anyone out there plans to buy a TV. How to buy? What brand to buy? Which is good? Complicating!
    Year 2012 TV technologies have gone to an extreme until TV price is going like tsunami. First let’s talk about technologies. Plasma & LCD. There are many TV brands out there competing among each others to produce the best for users and to enjoy the entertainment environment from home. Big names are the SAMSUNG, SONY, LG, SHARP, PANASONIC, Hitachi etc.
     Based on internet and online survey reviews, PLASMA TV wins majority in comparison with LCD TV. BUT everyone has their own point of view and likeness on how their TV can satisfy them.
(what is plasma display)  (what is LCD display).

Comparison on Plasma TV vs LCD TV :  My Homework!

1) Plasma TV is cheaper than LCD TV (Plasma: RM800 -RM2500).
2) LCD TV is brighter then PLASMA TV because of LED lights- Some says plasma wins on picture quality.
3) PLASMA TV viewing angle on off axis is better than LCD TV. It means from any angle you watch a plasma TV, you can view clearly compare to LCD TV.
4) Plasma TV contrast ration is better than LCD (plasma offers the best black level but LCD also coming up with LED Backlighting with local dimming technology).
5) Plasma TV works well on fast moving images compare to LCD which caught up with laggingness.
6) Some recommending buying LCD TV for below 40 inch size and Plasma TV for above 40 inch for better viewing.
7) LCD TV has the lowest power consumption compare to Plasma TV. Real Power Saving Technology.
8) ASTRO also suits well on Plasma TV compare to LCD TV(analogue) but some HD channels are good on LCD/LED TV's.

    Some might want to ask, What About LED TV's. LED TV's is actually an LCD TV that uses LED's to illuminate the display. LED TV's has two types, one is called the "edge lit"- the LED lights are around the perimeter and one more type are placing the LED's across the back of the display-the "back lit".

    Sony and Samsung has come up with LED TV's that has premium picture quality together with ultra-realistic 3D effect that really touches the world of home entertainment viewing. Watching HD blue ray movies like Avengers & Transformers on the LED TV's with superb surround home theater system will be one of the best weekend activities you will never experience! One can say bye to GSC & TGV Cinemas.

    Years to come, the LCD or LED will be equally competing with Plasma in terms of price. In future every house will be having a minimum 50inch and above home theater sytem with full LED back lit technology. What other technologies they are going to introduced in future, WHO KNOWS!!

    Guys, have you decide, WHAT TYPE TO BUY & WHICH IS THE BEST? hmmmmm. My Brand-Samsung, Sony & LG. Feel free to drop your comments. Thank You.

BILLA 2 THE BEGINNING(2012) - Movie Review

    BILLA 2- The Beginning is back again. The much awaited movie from "talle Ajit" was released on 13th July 2012 in Malaysia. I managed to get tickets for 4.50pm show at IOI Mall yesterday, thanks to the GSC online system purchased technology.

    The stylish looking David Billa as how in the previous Billa movie, appears this time with an excellent and bullet kind of dialogue. This time his partners are the sexy Parvathy Ommanakuttan and Bruna Abdullah. Of course they can't compete with the previous Billa superb ladies - Nayantara & Namitha but for a 1st time it’s ok. Music by Yuwan Shankarraja was good with an excellent background scores.

This story is about the rise of David Billa and how he became from and ordinary man into dangerous criminal don. This movies if full of  gangsters act where bullet and short knives speaks more than words.

From my point of view, the movie was well taken with good and brutal fight scenes. Ajit has his own style of acting and this time he smokes lesser than before.  Ladies for sure would not like this movie because of violence but for guys.....awesome. For further review, please go and watch the movie. Avoid piracy OK!

Since Mankatha was a big hit with multi award winning from ITFA, let wait and see how is Billa 2 journeys goes.....ALL THE VERY BEST BILLA

MY MOVIE RATINGS: 4/5 (GOOD)

Competitor For ASTRO?

    ASTRO  has been the largest pay television provider in Malaysia. Its very rare to see houses without ASTRO now days. NOW there is a new player in a cable television market called ABN (Asian Broadcast Network). ABN set to launch its services somewhere in June and July 2012. Its good to have a competitor  for this services , at least ASTRO will reduce their package price. Correct?

ASTRO



VS

ABN CEO

    ABN is something like those days analogue cable TV (MEGA TV-appears once upon a time and then disappear). This daring digital cable TV is set to provide 50-60 channels upon launching and offering at cheaper price at start. This will be good news for those who do not have ASTRO at home. They are setting up their centre at Puchong Gateway,  next to Seri Kembangan toll and vacancies are available at ABN for many positions currently.
   According to Business Times, ABN choose Fibrecom and Tenaga Nasional as its back haul fibre optic partner and Fibrecom  51% shares owns by Telekom Malaysia. Since ABN is using fibre optics as their cable, I'm not very sure whether the UNIFI fibre optic cable can be used with it? For those who have UNIFI, maybe there is a benefit on that. Since ABN can offer more than 2000 channels, what for ASTRO?

    The new CEO, Sreedhar Subramaniam is bringing this project towards frontier as how Tan Sri Tony Fernandez did for Air Asia. Let's see..... ALL THE  BEST ABN !!!

MY BEST HANDPHONE EVER

   If talk about handphones nowdays, everyone's mind will be on iPhone 4s and Samsung. Two giants in these gadget world are the Samsung & Apple , sometimes HTC and LG .I agreed that the technologies that these phones have are beyond  in mobile world and competing among each other tremendously.Wanna talk about my favourite phone?

SAMSUNG- Not this lah!!

iPHONE 4S-Not this too lah!!!

    Sorry guys, the above mobile are not in my list yet as favourites. Why? Because I don't think they can last for many years. Moreover these phones wont be able to function well once fell down from a bed or on the road while riding motorbike. CORRECT!
    My most everlasting superb phone I have used...from NOKIA of course.(Model 6510). It was the best phone owned ever. No regrets. When first I bought it in 2002 was RM950. It is consider one of the most expensive phone at that time.

NOKIA 6510

    I have been using NOKIA 6510  for the past 7  years and I have changed the baterry only once. The 6510 model speciality at that time was the radio and gold colour housing with blue screen. It was a modern technology at that era of Nokia generation. There is a lot of history and memories from this everlasting phone. It can stored almost 300-400 messages including phone memory and battery talk time was extremely superb. Real cool!.

    I am still having the 6510 now since I've change to Nokia Music Express in 2009. I have changed the phone "s housing since the original one was badly damage but no heart to throw it away. I'm keeping it in museum of my home!!! Nokia ...you are a real giant at that time....but now Hmmmmmm. Anyway technology is moving real fast without realization. Humans are communicating with gadgets more than among each other as you can see everywhere in malls , cafe , coffee shop ,home ...etc..TECHNOLOGY CHANGE HUMAN CHANGE!!!! THAT'S REALITY.......
